There seem to have been any number of solutions to this problem in the past. You could google for it and select the most recent versions.. For example look at this, it looks promising and is recent:
Or you could try running Outlook under CrossOver Office, or run a VM
Unfortunately, MS Exchange is a moving target, probably deliberately so, and you might need to endure problems every time your company "upgrades" Exchange.

Remember, android is Linux too.
Best of luck.
Hello, thanks for your reply.
I know that Android is a modified version of linux and fot this reason I opened this topic.
What kind of technology use client mail inside android for syncing with microsoftonline exchange? It's really too simple. I need just to set my user/password + domain + server (web address) and all is done.
Why this method not work or is not used on clients sw on Linux? As you shown me, we need to use external proxy like davmail or in old case "owa" address for server. That methods not sync address book. And is very slow...

In order to write a client for MS Exchange you need to pay fees to Microsoft. Few people want to do that and at the same time give their work away gratis. Additionally, Microsoft is the quintessential closed source company, so they don't exactly have FOSS community's goodwill.
The DavMail project is sponsored by the French military, and thus given away as FOSS.
The method does sync your personal address book. This is confirmed by Darren in the discussion thread below the howto.
Is it really slow? I use this on a daily basis, and I don't experience that it is slow. What do you think is slow with DavMail?
