I'm currently using IMAP with mutt .95i and exchange server 5.5 at work. The
only time I've had a problem was when I was reading my mail from two
simultaneous instances of mutt accessing the exchange server and some other
weird stuff. In that case my only problem was not being able to exit mutt
except with a ^c-y. Just enable imap when you compile it and you are ready to
go. (assuming you have it enabled for yourself on the ES of course). If you
need help accessing your folders/etc let me know.

Heh, no there isn't one. I'd offer to write one, but as people who know me
would willingly attest, I suck at writing documentation/teaching. ;-)
Despite what I said above, I do plan on upgrading mutt in the near future.
Actually, I've been meaning to for some time but never have. We have a new
machine to migrate to and I'm hoping mutt 1.0 will be out when I move over and
I'll install that. I've watched the IMAP dev fairly closely and there are
some very good reasons for going to a more recent version of mutt. So if you
are going to have to recompile anyway, might as well go full-bore. ;-)
