Though technically evolution-mapi can connect from Exchange 5.5 till Exchange 2007, we currently work/test against and support Exchange 2007 only for now. We would be expanding our work to support all versions once we are done with our pending feature list for evolution-mapi. Also Evolution-mapi doesn't match all the features evolution-exchange offers today. The biggest reason why Exchange 2000/2003 user prefer the older provider is that, the OWA stays outside the firewall and MAPI (backend) server stays behind the firewall. So it makes sense to keep both atleast for a time, till Exchange 2000/2003 servers are moved to Exchange 2007/Other solution to avoid loosing a specific bunch of users from GNOME/Evolution.
