Connecting to Exchange (Was: New to group)

[Kit Plummer]

I am using Evolution.  It is awesome...but, is still a .11 version.
This doesn't mean that it doesn't work...just that some features
aren't implemented yet.  I have many different POP accounts and Evo
has no problems with that.  Although the Evo mailing list is full
of probs with IMAP servers...though, I haven't been paying attention
to what the probs are.
