Exchange Data Provider for Lightning

"Requires additional items'

Asked by Leszek Koltunski

I have installed version 0.8 from official Mozilla repo ( and then I've tried 0.9 with the same effect ). Thunderbird 3.1.2 on Windows XP here.

The problem: extension does not seem to work and when I go to Thunderbird menu->Tools->Add Ons, I can see

Provider for Microsoft Exchange 0.9
Allows bidirectional access to Microsoft Exchange
Requires additional items

and the 'Options' and 'Enable' buttons are greyed out. I can only 'Uninstall' it.

What gives?

Did you install lightning as well?

Of course not. What is it and how do I get it? When one goes to Mozilla's repo, it does not mention any 'Lightning' .

Lightning is the calendar component for Thunderbird. http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/lightning/

It would be nice if you explicitly mentioned that first one has to install another extension called 'lightning' .
I for one cannot see that info neither in

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/195279/

nor in
