Exchange supports (and has supported for many years) standard SMTP and IMAP.  
It’s even been enabled by default for many years.
So nearly any Email client will work fine out of the box.

If the user is looking for the Outlook type experience specifically, I would 
suggest Thunderbird + the Lightning add-on.  Or possibly Evolution, though it’s 
shows it’s age pretty badly.
