Warning: Exchange support in Thunderbird is not stable yet! We highly recommend backing up your Thunderbird profile before testing it.The current support of Exchange in Thunderbird is limited to email. Other features (calendar, address book) are planned to follow, but are not available yet.

This feature can be trialed by adding an Exchange account using the usual process for adding a new email account to Thunderbird, and selecting the "Exchange Web Services" option (or the first "Exchange" option when using the new Account Hub).
