As others have said, IMAP is the best path (if the Exchannge server is
set up for it).

In my case, I've been doing it for the last six years. At first directly
with mutt, then, and after realizing that Exchange [1] was set up to
archive the mails after a while and did other things to my mailboxes,
I started archiving locally, picking up the mails with fetchmail and
reading them locally with mutt.

So yes, I can confirm mutt+Exchange and fetchmail+exchange both work
reliably via imap. Calendar and all (you get calendar notifications
in that funny text/calendar format).

I played around with other possibilities, but most of them failed due
to lacking NTLM auth support (which my work Exchange instance requires).

Feel free to ask for details

Cheers
