Part of the answer is to take evolution, throw it away.
I agree with this BUT...
There are
multiple good mail clients for Linux and evolution. Yes evolution looks
like microsoft outlook,
Most multiple good mail clients are just that: mail clients.
Evolution doesn't just look like Microsoft Outlook, it provides some
quite useful features if you work in a Microsoft dominated corporate
network, even without using the brain-dead connector.

Are there other MUAs that one can run in Linux that can connect to an
Exchange server, other that Evolution? I also am marooned in an MS dominated
LAN with the need to access corporate mail. I also use Evolution, as much as
I would prefer something quicker and more reliable (and for God's sake, more
capable of sensible exportation). But what are the alternative?

We use Exchange here, and most everyone uses Exchange for us geeks who
use Linux with Thunderbird and IMAPS on the server. It's been rock
solid for the 2 years we've had it in place.
I wish we had IMAP access to the Exchange server. Or even POP but head
office says no.
Evolution is the only way to go. After a few months of trying to get to
like Evolutions, I gave up. I hate the interface in Evolution and I
find it very slow, and impossible to use if you have lots of filters. I
do not want my mail continuously checked.
My procedure is to open Evolution and move my mail to an export folder
on my local machine.
I then save the file in a sub directory of Thunderbird's local folders.
I then run the filters in Thunderbird and enjoy my email.
Now there is hope in the future with this project.

They have a plugin for Evo 2.8. Now if there was a plugin for
Thunderbird.

Due to the move to M$ Exchange Server,
anything that is a priority, please phone.
