No, not at all - I don't actually use Exchange for very much - in fact I
avoid it as much as possible.

In fact I got it wrong - Exchange 2003 is actually V6.5, not V5.5.

Are you sure it's V5.5?  That's very old - november 1997 to be precise -
and I would be dubious of anywhere running that version since it won't
have had security updates for a long time.

If it really is that old, then your only real option is to use IMAP.
