Hi,

I also need to connect to an exchange at work...

I'll try the latest davmail, now I use icedove in Imap (activated on
exchange), plus the exchange data provider for lightning
(http://gitorious.org/lightning-exchange-provider/pages/Home)
which is extremely slow, but working (full XUL implementation, that may
explain the slowness)

I get the global address list through LDAP, but a more integrated
solution would be interesting.
