I am giving up outlook for Thunderbird as I am tired of Outlook is making me miserable (2Gmail Accounts and 2 Exchange accounts).
I have installed Thunderbird and tried it out with my Gmail account. Seems fine. But I could not set up the exchange account..
I tried the AddON EWS...but still not working..

Is it a big deal to enable IMAP ? How do I do it ?
Is there any drawback ?

Just set up an Outlook Profile for each account including Exchange and Outlook will work fine

I do not want to use outlook !
As you saw Thunderbird does not do the best features of Exchange

John: I Know. But I am looking "only" for emails..no contacts no calendar, no tasks..
Then a limited client like Thunderbird should work
Your exchange server needs to be configured to support IMAP and/or POP3. If it isn't, you'll never connect from Thunderbird. Are you the Exchange Administrator? Are you using Office 365 (or a similar online version of Exchange)?

what Exchange version do you have? As far as I know, you can connect Thunderbird to Exchange only via POP3 or IMAP. That will not sync your calendar and tasks, but you can try using add-on like: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/tbsync/?src=cb-dl-toprated
