The reason it works fine is because Jan-Pascal has put a lot of hard work into 
making the webdav work with exchange :-)  Indeed, there is already support 
(that was shipped in 3.1) for using korganizer with exchange2k.  Now, if all 
you want is the email portion, well, KMail works fine with Exchange even 
earlier than 2k, simply using imap (I use it for my work email).  As for 
using webdav as some sort of imap replacement, well, that sounds pretty hokey 
to me :-)

HTH.
