Andy, and Ed from a severed thread, are right. E2K does NOT need to be in native mode to join a 5.5 domain. Our network did it: joined 5.5, moved mailboxes, replicated public folders [but that's a long story], served users from the new server for mail and public folders, got OWA going with mailbox and public folder access, all in the same 5.5 organization in mixed mode (but I didn't say "no sweat"). You go native, forget about your 5.5 server. Delpart it, unless you want to re-install E2K and do the whole thing over again.
You CAN have an E2K server in one site/domain connecting to a 5.5 server, and use site links and site connectors (which is actually a smarter way to go; no Free/Busy errors when you [oops] disconnect the 5.5 server a little early.....been there, done that).
