If you want the functionality of Exchange on Linux, use Ximian 
Evolution. it comes with Redhat Fedora Core, but you could check ... 
oh, wow, it's now owned by Novell. Check out www.ximian.com.

There is, if you're interested, a server application for sharing 
folders between instances of Outlook and/or Evolution, called 
XCConnect. Find it at www.xcnetwork.com. They have a Linux version and 
a Win2k/XP version. It does most of what MS Exchange server does, but 
for $60 per client. I installed it on a customer's system, and it 
worked well.
