IIRC you would not need to switch from icedove because davmail is not a
MUA. It provides a local IMAP server which gateways onto the Exchange
server (talking WebDAV in the background). You would install davmail,
configure it, and then configure icedove to talk to your local machine
via IMAP.

Microsoft Exchange can talk POP/IMAP if the admins turn it on. Their
reply suggests they are unwilling to do so however. (And Exchange is
not a great IMAP server, anyway. The packaged versions of offlineimap
struggle with it, more recent git commits mostly work but it's still
iffy.)
