I am waiting on this too for much the same reasons - though its
evo-2.26.3 wont talk to exchange 2003 here.

As a workaround, use "davmail" as a connector - that works well!

Gentoo have made gnome 2.28.3 stable for amd64 only so far so hopefully
it wont wont be much longer - evo version is 2.28.3.1.  I unmasked gnome
2.28.3 (on x86) yesterday to test and will try to connect to exchange
direct over the weekend.
