AWS? If that's what you really mean (and not EWS), what protocol does AWS use? (IMAP? POP? EWS?) > > Thunderbird has a place to input a password.

When configuring the account do you mean that it fails in the autodiscover? There's a tick box at the bottom of the "Identity" page of the account configuration labelled "Look up mail server details on the entered e-mail address", untick that so you can fill in the server details manually (use the same details as for Thunderbird). > Maybe I'm missing something here?
