I wish I knew less about the Windoze world. It appears, although I have not
done any indepth research yet, that when Outlook is configured to talk to an
Exchange server, they use a private protocol that is not SMTP, POP3 or
IMAP4. Exchange IS capable of all of those protocols, but appears to
support another proprietary one for an intergrated solution. The way our
Outlook clients are configured, I can do calendar type activities, like
schedule meetings and meeting rooms and know immediately the availability of
people and resources. It works reasonably well. I just wish it would work
directly from Linux so that I didn't need to run VMWare or Win4Lin.
