Might be worth trying F12 Beta. AFAIK, MAPI connector development is
active (I'm sure hoping...), but GNOME folks don't seem very determined
to backport updates.
When I first tied it, I got persistent crashes, but there was an update
that fixed that problem. Now every time I access a folder, it does a
complete sync with the host, which is pretty intolerable. There's a
patch for that, I believe, but nobody has pulled it back into 2.26.3.
Living without calendar and contacts here is not a very attractive
alternative.
Some other ideas (all of which require sysadmin cooperation):
* Use the OWA connector (requires Exchange 2003 OWA
compatibility).
* Use the Brutus connector (requires a Brutus server running on
Windows to manage the actual transactions with Exchange).
