Exactly what I was wondering. I have to connect to an exchange and I use
Evolution. I have the ability to use Outlook on crossover office but I
prefer to work in Evolution, much nicer client.

Then you haven't tried using Horde here where I work. Outlook Web
Access is a major improvement. Replicates almost all functionality of
the Outlook client.
Now, I'm not saying I like Outlook/Exchange... I'm hoping to get
Evolution to work with our Exchange 2007 server with that plugin
mentioned earlier...

Note: Evolution does do Exchange, and though i have had no problems with
it at all, some have said that evolution doesnt do it very well.

I have used evolution on my schools Exchange service and it worked just
fine

No, they have a completely inappropriate level of paranoia - almost all
ports are blocked, unless they really could be used to infiltrate the local
network; they absolutely trust McAfee will keep machines free of viruses -
but if McAfee actually reports having caught and removed a virus, they'll
want to take your machine away to disinfect it; and they remove anything
that's attached to incoming mail whether it's executable or not...

IIRC, Evolution uses a modified wrapper of OWA for accessing Exchange.
So even if the network is firewalled you should be able to get Evolution
to work regardless. It's been a while since I"ve done that, they might
have changed it since, but I was able to do exactly that for a company I
worked for a few years back.

I tried using Evolution with our Exchange server several months ago.
It was so slow that I found it completely un-usable. The calendar and
task list integration with the gnome-panel clock is really nice
though!

You know, I've really felt like Evolution has become very bloated
recently. I don't know if that's just me or what. I did a test last
night with it and found that it's not quite as fast as IMAP in
Thunderbird, but it was usable. Granted, it seemed slower to me than
when I used it last time. As I've said, I've rather moved away from it
because it seems sluggish recently and have preferred Thunderbird more.
