That's right. I noticed that formatting is a bit of a problem, but at least you can see your mail....

This will work *if* your ISP or (as I'll guess is correct
in this case since corporations are notorious for using
Exchange for "Canlendaring" purposes) the company for
which you work. Regardless, it will *only* work for getting
your mail messages (or things that *look* like mail
messages anyway.) You can expect formatting to be a bit
of a problem, and you won't be able to see your calendar
or anything like that.

AFAIK (and I'd be glad to be proven wrong) there is no
feature-complete Exchange client for Linux or anything
other than Mac and Win. I assume that full Exchange
integration is a closed API. I don't know of any product
(Win, Mac, or otherwise) that can access it properly
other than MS Outlook (and Outlook Express) and the client
that ships with Exchange.
