I took a closer look at the services supported by Outlook (2000).  They list
"Microsoft LDAP Diectory" and "Microsoft Support for Lotus CC:Mail" as
options.  I do not know if the MS LDAP Server support will work with a
generic LDAP server, but perhaps either this or CC:Mail will be what you
need.

While there are many other solutions out there, MS has made their Outlook
client rather proprietary and since you insist on this, these 2 paths look
like the only way to go.

OpenMail was supposed to be a complete solution, niot an Exchange
replacement.

Unfortunately the calendars are served up from Exchange via an undocumented
RPC that is not likely to be implemented in any Linux clients anytime soon.
You might want to see how the evulution client is coming along over at
gnome, as that is the most likely to include support in the near future, but
for true Client support for MS Exchange right now the quickest (if not only)
solution is to load up a Win98 boot under VMWare and load Outlook there as
your client.

I don't know what state it was left in when HP abandoned it earlier this
year, but Openmail on Linux was supposed to be for all intents &
purposes a replacement for Exchange server.
