The public folders you can access through IMAP. Meeting notifications
are received as standard emails, but you don't get pop-up reminders.
OWA gives you access to your calendar and contacts, although it
doesn't have all of the features of the Outlook client (including the
sending-email-to-100-of-your-contacts-without-asking feature). You
can search the address book with an LDAP client, and the contacts and
calendar are viewable via IMAP, although they just look like emails.
All this assumes that the Exchange administrators know what they're
doing and have configured the servers correctly. If you've got a
bunch of paper MCSEs they probably haven't.
