Revere engineered products/projects do lack 100% compatibility and
release deadlines.  You can help us gain more momentum, by providing
more insights on WebDAV / OWA interface in Exchange 2007, point us to KB
articles or some other links that can help us proceed little faster.
Evolution exchange connector (2.11.x) is still quite stable for Exchange
2003 and Exchange 2000 (if any) users.  Its getting better and better in
every releases that we make.  So, I would say, keep your hopes high and
lets help each other to achieve what we want.

These are not really out of range, still achievable.
