i've been using DavMail happily on my home and work laptops (Ubuntu 
karmic and lucid) to connect to my employer's Exchange server, and it 
works like a charm.

i'm running it on localhost (my laptops) but you can run it on your 
server. The documentation is pretty good, but not for the casual user.

On both my machines, i've used it with Evolution (bllleeeecchhh) and 
Thunderbird 3.0 + Lightning + Provider for Google Calendar - i can see 
all my Google Calendars and multiple Exchange calendars within 
ThunderBird+Lightning, in one view. It's quite nice.

Now if i could only do the same on my Andriod phone.... porting DavMail 
might be my first non-toy Andriod project.
