Note:
Some versions of Thunderbird will report Command error 12 (but everything seems working)
This is due a missing support of ID Command by the exchange server (a command send by the Thunderbird client).
Solution:
Go to Tools > Options > Advanced > General tab or Menu icon > Options > Options > Advanced >
General tab
click on 'config editor' button. it will tell you to be careful :) [*] In top search type: send_client look for this line: mail.server.default.send_client_info; Value = true
Double click on that line to toggle TRUE to FALSE It will stop Thunderbird from sending the "ID command".
Close window - top right X click on OK Restart Thunderbird.
[*] Linux users find the menu under Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Config Editor
