Is There a Linux Client Solution for Exchange 2007?

Posted by timothy on from the switch-to-postcards dept.

CrazedSanity writes "I have been working at my state job for about 7 months now, using the Exchange plugin for Evolution to check my email. Very recently the higher-ups decided to migrate to Exchange 2007, which effectively destroyed my ability to check my email through any method other than webmail (which means I have to constantly refresh/reload the webmail window). I'm sure somebody else has encountered the problem, but I'm wondering if anybody has come up with a working solution?" Note: CrazedSanity's looking for a client that will work with Exchange in a situation where replacing the Exchange install with an open-source equivalent isn't an option.

    The platform-independent Google Apps would greatly do the job! Unlimited user accounts, 7Gb of storage par EMail account, shared calendars, shared contacts and everything. It does almost everything Exchange does, including managing your own domain name's EMail services, plus it's completely FREE! I think you can even use an IMAP client to connect users to their accounts.

    I've been using it for months in my company, and it works great!

    Yeah, but the GP post is still right. The suggestion to replace Outlook with Telnet should probably be modded "Funny" rather than "Troll".
