Exchange 2007 Client for Linux

The bad news is that there isn't any decent Exchange clients for Linux, other than possibly some crap connector for Evolution that will only compile on Suse.

The good news is that starting with Exchange 2007, there is a SOAP web-services interface for Exchange, so it's now feasible for somebody to actually write a client, which wasn't the case with MAPI. Microsoft is updating its Mac email client and Apple is providing native support with Snow Leopard, so something should pop up one of these days.

Unfortuantely there are not many options out there for Linux, most people I know running Linux with Exchange have to either rely on a VM running Outlook, or resort to IMAP.

There are only two projects I know of that are working in this area:

• Open Change MAPI, which you've already looked at
• Evolution MAPI - The successor to the previous Evolution Exchange component that scraped OWA.
