[Gllug] Outlook exchange alternatives

[Jan Henkins]

  I feel your pain...

I'm caught into the Exchange 2007 thing, and cannot do much about it. 
Currently I have to use the OWA frontend, which is only slightly less 
painful than Outlook itself. After the demise of Exchange 2003, 
Evolution Exchange support (as a result), the dissappearance of the 
Brutus plugin (does somebody know what happened to the Brutus 
framework?? From where I'm sitting, it seems like they were abducted by 
aliens...), I did not have much hope.

However, while I was trawling forums, my eye caught a posting mentioning 
Davmail:

http://davmail.sourceforge.net

It's a Java-based system, and one of it's modes includes a local 
standalone proxy. It connects to Exchange via the SSL OWA frontend. So 
far I can read and send email without problems, still setting up 
Lightning for calendar support.
