Have you looked at DavMail? http://davmail.sourceforge.net/

I run it on my machines - it provides a local IMAP/POP3/SMTP/CalDAV
gateway which proxies to the Exchange Web Interface. It really is
rather good, although I have to admit that I've not tried it against
something as old as Exchange 5.5 (is that even still supported? -
we're talking about pre-2003 here...)
