![]() Is anyone else crazy enough to be doing something like this? Any ideas?ĭitch Outlook, for the most part, and use Thunderbird + DavMail (Exchange gateway) + Lightning (Calendar). I've looked all over the options menu and have not found a way to tell Outlook to not use a certain account for sending mail, which would solve (3). I'd like to come up with a solution for (2) and (3) though.įor problem (2) would it be possible to somehow tell Outlook that the IMAP server is "offline", and have it synchronize my changes during a periodic "send and receive"?
