I use nnimap with our Exchange system, and it's tolerable.
It's certainly better than using Outlook.  And while
MS-IMAP isn't ideal, it seems to be sufficient for normal
splitting, reading, and expiry.  I throw in the agent and
read offline for speed.

I wouldn't interpret Sébastien's comments as ``Using
Exchange with IMAP will cause you more trouble than it's
worth.''  If you can get the admin to turn it on, I say go
for it.
