I've changed to Mozilla Mail for the built-in spam filtering 
(moz13prebeta), generally better filtering than Sylpheed (which has some 
great features), better address book than Sylpheed also better than the 
Kaddressbook2, and the calendar feature is almost there (works OK with 
moz121) to replace Korganizer2.

And it is cross-platform for windows, linux, and mac-osx.
It's also a great browser without the security holes of IE.

Really don't know about working with Exchange server but that seems like 
a security risk as well, based on wildly speculative rumors.

Richard.
