It also blows away any excuses corporate pinheads might have for NOT integrating linux boxen into an Exchange network.
If it worked, sure. Since the migration to Exchange 2003 or whatever it is called, I never got any new mail, despite having Evolution set up to check every few minutes. I have to double click the Inbox folder. And even in half of those cases it will fail with a message like "Could not refresh folder". People ask me why I don't get email until hours later. Well, if only I had more time to baby-sit Evolution and double click the Inbox folder throughout the day.. and just don't get me started on how long it takes for Evolution at startup to check folders that haven't changed since last time.
I hope they kept the IMAP service up, because I am finally ditching the Outlook account. If you stick to IMAP, Evolution is almost sane in comparison, as if it were a totally different application. If the Exchange connector works the way I suspect it does (by scraping HTML pages from the Outlook web interface), I am not surprised at all by its flakiness.
