Peronally, I think that it is absurd to even think about using Exchange

If you run in an environment using different desktop OSs and the
powers that be insist on switching the central mailhost to Exchange
you have to use IMAP.
No; you can use Outlook with Exchange protocol and give up on using
any non-proprietary solution. That will make the PHB's happy. Then,
when the limitations of doing so become apparent, you can get a
separate native IMAP server installed.
In fairness to the Exchange front end it seems to work OK.
Indeed, Exchange works fine when used as Exchange.
The Exchange IMAP interface does, however, make it easy to migrate users
en mass from exchange to UW IMAP, keeping all email folders and messages.
