Great!  Many people want this, few have offered help.

Read through the exchange resource code (link in Andreas' email) then
come back with questions. People here understand the resource framework
well, but lack experience with exchange (or a test exchange server).

A quick overview--a resource provides a consistent API to all different 
kinds of backends.  The pim apps deal with the resource API, not the 
specific backend. For example, there is a resource for Yahoo!  Calendar, 
various groupware packages as well as local iCalendar files.  So once 
you get a resource working for exchange, the pim apps should just work.
