That's me! Well, sort of. My company standardized on Exchange/Outlook by 
inertia, but we're not really a Microsoft shop. For good reasons or bad, 
Exchange is the de facto standard. So I'd love to see better integration 
with it. I've played with disconnect IMAP. It's hard to set up and 
meeting invites and calendar sync don't work quite right. This is 
unfortunate, as I've had to resort to running Outlook under VMWare to 
play well with the rest of the company.
