This article is more of a follow up towards an earlier article that I had written for - Enabling/Enforcing Multifactor Authentication for All (Bulk) Users in Office 365.
That article was aimed at IT Professionals who would dive deep into the functionality and are comfortable with PowerShell. This article is aimed at end-users and IT Professionals – to get a glimpse of how would MFA (or multi-factor authentication) experience turn out to be.
Initial Setup (Direct Link to portal: https://account.activedirectory.windowsazure.com/UserManagement/MultifactorVerification.aspx)
Notes: Azure multi-factor authentication is a method of verifying who you are that requires the use of more than just a username and password. Using MFA for Office 365, users are required to acknowledge a phone call, text message, or app notification on their smart phones after correctly entering their passwords. They can sign in only after this second authentication factor has been satisfied.
A form of multi-factor authentication is included with Office 365, but you can also purchase Azure multi-factor authentication that includes extended functionality. For more information, see feature comparison of Azure multi-factor authentication versions.
(Reference article for IT Pros: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Set-up-multi-factor-authentication-for-Office-365-users-8f0454b2-f51a-4d9c-bcde-2c48e41621c6?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US)
Important: All the Office 2016 client applications support multi-factor authentication through the use of the Active Directory Authentication Library (ADAL). This means that app passwords are not required for Office 2016 clients.
- Go to the Office 365 admin center.
- Navigate to Users > Active users. Your screen should look like one of the following:
- In the Office 365 admin center, click More > Setup azure multi-factor auth.

* How to use free email client to connect and use MS Exchange 2007 or 2010 mail server instead of investing money in standalone MS Outlook or MS Office suite.
** So you are at tight budget and have no money for new copy of MS Office or standalone MS Outlook and you business mail server happen to be MS Exchange 2007/2010. Or , even, better you are running Linux desktop system and certainly have no nerves nor time to configure open source and free Evolution email client. Then this tutorial is for you!
5 Steps total
Step 1: Program download
You need to download Mozilla Thunderbird here:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/
and small Thunderbird add-on ExQuilla available for all three major operating systems/platforms :Window, Linux and Apple MacOS .
ExQuilla is an addon for the Mozilla Thunderbird email client that allows access to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and 2010. Download it here: https://exquilla.zendesk.com/home
Step 2: Install Mozilla Thunderbird and ExQuilla add-on
Once you have Mozilla Thunderbird downloaded just install it on your computer and launch new email client software.
Skip automatic email account creation and skip offers to create free email accounts at gandi.net or hover.com
From Thunderbird menubar click on Tools and select Addons.
Click on small gear icon and select an option :
Install Add-on From File
Navigate to the location where you saved your add-on file ( e.g. exquilla-currentrelease-tb-windows.xpi for Windows OS) and install it.
Restart Thunderbird!
Step 3: Configure MS Exchange account in Thunderbird
One more time skip Thunderbird offers for free email account creation .
After the ExQuilla addon is successfully installed, you may add a Microsoft Exchange account from the menu item Tools/ExQuilla for Microsoft Exchange/Add Microsoft Exchange Account.
Click on Tools in Thunderbird menubar , scroll way down to ExQuilla for Microsoft Exchange line and click on it.
Profile setup wizard will appear. Fill in boxes with your user name and password and correct URL pointing to your MS Exchange server :
https://your-server-name/EWS/Exchange.asmx
where 'your-server-name' in my example you should substitute with your MS Exchange public facing FQDN .
( For internal corporate LAN plain IP address will suffice)
Step 4: Connect to MS Exchange Server
Once a Thunderbird email user profile for MS Echange has been created restart Thunderbird or click on Get Mail Icon in Thunderbird manubar.
You will get familiar Windows login screen where you need to provide your AD credentials.
If everything was configured properly in few seconds you will see your new email client Thunderbird start filling in your mailbox folders.
Step 5: Thunderbird / ExQuila postinstallation instuctions
https://exquilla.zendesk.com/entries/20887131-after-installation-creating-an-exchange-account
MS Exchange email access requires an email 'client' or the use of a Web browser 'webmail' interface. For Windows PCs, the only way of accessing email with standalone email client software is with Microsoft Outlook, which is part of the Microsoft Office software suite. Being able to retrieve email messages from MS Exchange mail server using email client applications other Outlook has always been challenge for developers because of Microsoft proprietary mail transport protocol (MAPI). Small ExQuilla addon for Mozilla Thunderbird email client has solved that problem using HTTP protocol ( Exchange Web Services , actually) instead.

thanks for your work
this is really extensively
:some screen shot would be nice to explain - TabascoNedVis Apr 30, 2013 at 09:21pm
Thunderbird setup and add-on installation is really simple so I didn't find it'd be very useful to include screenshots.
But, yes , you are right , hcs5775 postinstallation and configuration process might be tricky so here we are - setup instruction screenshots from ExQuilla developers site:

This is a great advancement for those who don't want outlook, or can't use outlook.
One thing you might consider is to connect thunderbird to the Global Address Book so auto complete works. I just read blogs and hacked away at it until it worked.
In Linux TB go to Edit, Preferences, Composition, then Addressing.
Click the Edit Directories button.
Add a new directory.
General:
Name: whatever you like e.g. Global Adress Book
Hostname: fqdn e.g. my-domain-controller.mydomain.com
Base DN: dc=mydomain,dc=com
Port Number: 3268
Bind DN: mydomainmyusername
Advanced:
Don't return more than 100 results
Scope: Subtree
Search filter: (objectclass=*)
Login method: simpleMake sure to put a check in the autocomplete box next you your new directory.
Hope this helps - Sonorapaula popper Feb 5, 2014 at 02:17am
I inherited the Outlook 2010 on my system. I've been trying various email/calendar/contact clients to get away from Outlook with varying levels of success. I downloaded Thunderbird today, happened to join here, and I found this article. So, off I go to give it a try. Thanks for this!

Great but not free anymore, the exquilla add in gives you a free 3 month trial but then a yearly charge for a license.
Individual licenses cost $10 per year.Domain licenses cost $25 per domain plus $5 per user (with a minimum of 5 users), per year.

Here's a free alternative:

Should be fairly easy to adapt for any distro.
