For the record, I evaluated OpenMail at our company as a replacement for
Exchange.  I did have to install an OpenMail component on each Outlook
workstation for full functionality.  IIRC, once the plugin was installed
a new source was available when configuring mail accounts.

Evolution on the other hand is working great with Exchange (Mail anyway)
without a plugin : )  I will be purchasing the connector when it's
available though, since I don't think our IT department will be dropping
Exchange anytime soon : /
