Evolution works fine for me, but I don't use Exchange with it any more.

I was told that the reason for the absolute and complete breakage with
Exchange from Evolution is that there is no proper maintainer for
Evolution and that everybody wished it wasn't the standard e-mail app.

Besides, I suppose the "correct" approach for Exchange<->mail client
integration, besides using pop3/imap(?) is to have an Exchange proxy
that sits between the two.

But I expect there are good reasons for not having that.
