DAVMAIL SETUP INSTALL
Option 2) Install DavMail on your Exchange Server, I found that this works a lot faster and if you have more then 1 workstation wanting to use DavMail then they can all connect to the one instance of DavMail running from your Windows server. (there is an exchange 2007 add-on for evolution but I couldn't get it to work, just kept crashing and I'm not a huge fan of evolution). If you don't have admin access to your windows server and your windows sysadmin is a tool, then this is the only way I have found to access exchange reliably from Ubuntu. Option 1) Install DavMail on your local PC, this option works but is not recommended because the speed is a bit slow. Install Thunderbird with the Lightning extensions.

If you don't have admin access to your windows server installing it locally would be your only option. It worked well but was quite slow to retrieve information.
