Yes, that is possible. I have used it for some years - but no longer 
uses it. I will try it with the next KDE version.

Please be carefull, Windows Server usualy have a Active Direcroty 
server running - which is a ldap server. Disabling this server will 
stop the windows system acting as server.

The idea is not that bad. But there are some disadvantages: The Linux  
mailclients are not realy good in using ldap (different ldap schemas) 
and not everything is configurable.

If you want to use outlook and if you have a windows server licence 
with exchange ... There is a kontact exchange connector out there 
afaik.
