    I’m ignorant. What does native exchange support mean? I know we can get outlook/hotmail etc but is this more of the enterprise support?

      Here is my understanding of it -

      Currently, TB uses POP3/IMAP protocol to access your Mailbox on Exchange Server.

      Ideally, it should be done via MS EWS Web API [1][2] which TB currently doesn’t support, but MS Office Outlook does.

      Given that MS Exchange is heavily used in corporate/company setup, it[3] will put TB on par with Outlook in that regard.
