Codeweavers Crossover Office is NOT free! I'd rather use Outlook on
Windows than pay Codeweavers. I like free software and I don't like to pay
when it comes to Linux stuff. My idea of Linux is that it is free software
developed by the community. Those who make me pay for Linux software
should be trashed!

I used Ximian evolution without licenses and it works fine for me!
Another way is to use your pine to access the exchange server. You should
have a line like this
------------------------------------------------------------
incoming-folders= NUS Exchange {scistu.ex.nus.edu.sg}inbox
--------------------------------------------------------------
in your ~/.pinerc
Well this is for the National University of Singapore Exchange server, you
should substitute your own settings
