Official support is not given, neither by Mozilla nor Microsoft.
Nevertheless, there is an (almost) stable project which is offering calendar support for Thunderbird over a xpi-PlugIn:

Stable for reading Exchange Calendar entries. It is also possible to add/update entries, but it seems like it takes some time that all data is synchronized properly. doku
