My employer recently crammed Exchange down my throat.
I now use fetchmail to snarf the mail from the Exchange server
(using IMAP instead of POP) and Kmail to read it and sort it into
different mailboxes. I run imapd so my system inbox and the Kmail
boxes are accessible from home using TkRat.
I send my mail using sendmail but setting up Kmail to use the Exchange
server as an SMTP server should work. At least it did in my tests.
