Add office 365 calendar to Thunderbird

Thunderbird is a powerful software to handle emails and calendar accounts. Recently, I had a new laptop and installed the latest Thunderbird version 78.6.0, and want to add my office 365 calender into it. ).

Steps

After searching internet for a while, I found that the following solution worked out:

Install TbSync addon.
Install Provide for Exchange ActiveSync addon.
Start the TbSync Addon from Tools->Addon options->TbSync.
Then choose Account actions->add new account->Exchange ActiveSync.
In the opened window, choose Automatic configuration and fill the username(email address) and password, and click Autodiscover … button.
If everything goes well, you’ll see a list of available calendars and tasks from the server, and check those you’d like to synchronize to Thunderbird. Also set the time interval for periodic checking remote server.

Then it is done.

Note: I tried the Microsoft Office 365 option, and it didn’t work out.
