Linux Email Client that works with "Exchange Mail"

[Henry A. Leinhos]

I use YDL at work with an exchange server.  I had to get our admin to enable 
IMAP for my account, then almost any (IMAP) client will work.  I don't get 
all the fancy functionality that exchange forces on you, but I don't mind.
