Depending on how Exchange is configured, you can get at the Public
folders by way of IMAP. But anything that's not a mail folder won't
work right. (And, in any case, I can already do that with mutt.)

(Mostly, I use Exchange for the calender and the todo lists, but
there exists also a journal and note-taking system. The contact
stuff may work through IMAP, but I think that Insight actually wants
to do its contacts through LDAP. I've got no clue about Exchange and
LDAP. It certainly didn't do it when I last configured an Exchange
server, but that was a few years--and a few versions--ago.)

Nope. That's to make Outlook talk to their server, not to make
Insight talk to Exchange.

However, I've got something that may work... turns out Ximian sells
a (commercial) add on for their (free) Evolution MUA that will talk
to Exchange.

Learn more here:

When I get a few free minutes, I'm going to get my hands on a copy.
I'd like to be able to make it work with our pkgsrc version of
Evolution, but I've got a feeling that's not going to be easy.
(Probably, it's a binary distribution of Linux shared objects...
which I think necessitates running Evolution as an emulated Linux
binary too, right?)
