In my work, I managed to convince them that I cannot longer work with Windows, because it gives me a headache... :-)
Nonetheless, they insist on using that MS Exchange 2003 for our intranet e-mails.
So the problem is that I cannot read my e-mail from my openSUSE 10 box.
Now the obvious question:
Is there an open-source way to connect my Linux (a Linux e-mail client, perhaps) to MS Exchange and get those messages?
I understand that Ximian Connector for Microsoft Exchange does that, but it also does cost US$69 per user... I cannot afford it.
Any ideas?
PS: Don't give me that "tell them: MS Exchange gives you a headache, too. Lets migrate to Linux" because I already did and they won't listen.
Many companies provide a web-based ms outlook client for when their employees are on the road, using computers other than their office computer, etc.
This allows one to access one's outlook emails regardless of what OS system one uses at home, so long as there is a standard browser (mozilla, opera, konqueror, whatever).
In retrospect, I should correct my phrasing. When I wrote "a web-based ms outlook client", what I really meant was "a web-based ms outlook interface".
Taking my company as an example, they are not especially keen to advertise the fact that such a web-based interface is available but I presume that this feature is a standard part of any reasonably up to date MS exchange server package.
The question is whether they have enabled it or not.

IMAP just changes the way mail is handled. No change on Accounts, but you don't have calandar features. I use IMAP to Exchange when migrating clients to either Groupwise or Notes. Allows them you get the old mail cleaned up.
