what else do you need than mail, where POP3 or IMAP is enough?

I just want to be able to be a exchange client as Outlook is.
no, the only one full-client for Exchange is Outlook.
so Outlook needs to be ported to Linux ;-)
yes. do it. :o)
why? outlook doesn't support telnet sessions :-D
you can port it and add support for telnet-sessions :), but then call it Outlook2001 ....

mbertl, Outlook2001 ?
Hmm, you mean it takes more than 3 vears from now to get it working, or did you mean its name should be outlook199x ;-)
dirty_al, sorry for borring you with jokes.
But stooky, gave a good hint to use outlook from within Linux. IMHO, that's the best you can do for now, 'cause vmware even handles any M$ crash, so that you just have to reboot the virtual machine but not Linux :-))

VMWare is a radical solution, but good. Unfortunate, VmWare requires a very fast computer in order to be viable and at work I use a P166 MMX. I dont think VmWare would work regular under such system. The machine just have 46MB of memory and my boss in not going to give me more.
But the idea is very good indeed!
a P166 should be enough (I do it on a P90:)
Buying 128Mb of RAM is cheaper than most M$ products ;-)

there is a outlook-version in the ms-internetexplorer for unix(solaris, hp-ux), but i dont know if it works with ... mapi (i think you need this) and i also dont know if there is a linux-version.
i have a similar problem with unix-mails to exchange-mapi-server ... i dont know if there is a more little solution with source-code or direct for aix4.2 ...

It would be possible to run through IBCS a Intel binary, but there isn.t any version for SCO, for exemplo, of IE. This idea came in my mind.
It's possible to use the Outlook web access or you can use a software call EVOLUTION.
It use a protocol call WEBDAV and your able to simulate an Outlook client trought linux or unix.
Good luck
