Evolution has plugins that can be used to connect to an Exchange server
using MS protocols, but it has to be set up and there's more than one
way to do it. Since I've never had to deal with this myself, my
recommendation is that you ask on the Evolution list
(http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list) where this topic
is frequently discussed.
