There are some projects we are admire and even donate to, f.e. wikipedia.
But there project I would like to thanks a lot. DavMail one of them.
"The main goal of DavMail is to provide standard compliant protocols in front of proprietary Exchange. This means LDAP for address book, SMTP to send messages, IMAP to browse messages on the server in any folder, POP to retrieve inbox messages only and Caldav for calendar support. Thus any standard compliant client can be used with Microsoft Exchange. "[1]
I would say it is final step on my migration from "corporate standards" to open source world.
DavMail works fine with both Exchange Servers 2003/2007. While Ubuntu Evolution works fine only with Exchange Server 2003.
From my experience the best result achieves using DavMail + Thunderbird + Lighting then DavMail + Evolution
On my local environment I am running 2 instances of DavMail with different configurations for different Exchange Servers.
Just add the path of custom properties file as parameter to davmail
davmail /path/to/custom/file.properties
It makes possible to consolidate emails from 2 gateways within single mail client (Thunderbird + Lighting).
It is not possible to configure Microsoft Outlook 2003/2007 to work with 2 Exchange Servers
DavMail runs under Java6 and available both for Unix and Windows
