I already use vbox (there are currently 3 Fedora instances running in vbox vm's on the gentoo box I am using to type this att and then there is vmware on my laptop for work uses and qemu at home - for Fedora and windows on gentoo :), however, running another operating system just to read exchange email/calendaring (work nonsense!) - might just as well give up and run windows and outlook in a vm. I am currently using davmail to interface evo 2.26.3 to exchange and it works reasonably well, but again I am hoping to use the advances in later evo versions to go direct and not via a connector.
