I don't know of any native solution for mutt using the Exchange protocol or operating via the Exchange web interface... maybe someone else does. Obviously Evolution has a connector that doesn't use IMAP/POP, so there's probably hope. :) Maybe your Windows admin could be convinced to open up IMAP/POP internally on your network? You could the VPN in to access it without it being exposed to the wilds of the Internet if he's worried about that... I'm running mutt in an Exchange environment here. Always looking for ways to better integrate... fortunately I have IMAP access though :) Ray
