    I have just setup our company e-mail with a popular online e-mail provider. E-mails will be retrieved from the online server via Thunderbird installed on Windows 7 PC's. I wish to exercise administrative control such that Thunderbird will only connect to the particular account with the particular online e-mail provider I originally set it up with.

    Which is to say, I want to prevent users from accessing their personal e-mail (e.g. Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.) by simply creating new accounts on Thunderbird.

    Is this possible? How to do it? Users are currently non-admin users with program access restrictions enforced via parental controls.

    Voting emails from Outlook with Microsoft Exchange not accessible via IMAP on thunderbird

    My company uses Microsoft Outlook for mail and most of the users are on windows using Outlook. I use linux (yay!) and so can't use Outlook (damn!).

    I am using Thunderbird to access the mail via IMAP and so I am not getting the voting buttons that my colleagues are sending for various stuff. Is there any way I can read the voting options sent and spoof a response by sending a manually written message, in a particular syntax may be? That'd be great.

    Thanks.

    I found there is a format. Just change the header of the response for your option.

    For example

    Would you come to the meeting?

    You reply to that voting email with Yes: Would you come to the meeting? beside Re: Would you come to the meeting?.
