I'm disappointed to hear that. I no longer have access to a real Exchange
Server, and so I was personally unable to verify anything but POP and IMAP
access. I was hoping it did what it claimed, which I think was 

When you mention groupware stuff, what are you referring to? When I had access
to an Exchange Server previously, we had the ability to do e-mail and
calendering, but we also had the ability to create Public Folders that allowed
people to share files & documents and the umbrella of Outlook. The were the
only features I was aware of.

Did you notice that Bynari had a product called the Insight Connector? This
product specifically claims to support "a full range of groupware operations
on any server which employs (IMAP)."

Would that work for you?
