Crossover, Outlook and Exchange 2007

Hi

So our company has just upgraded our server to Exchange 2007(it was 2003) and I'm having real problems getting my Arch setup to play nice.
I was using Evolution to connect to it and this did everything that I wanted it too.
The evolution-exchange plugin, however, only seems to work with Exchange 2003. I tried the evolution openchange option, but this doesn't allow me to access public folders(essential), send completely grabled emails, and crashes all the time.

So I have now decided that running Outlook in wine is the best option. After trying for a while I discovered that outlook doesn't run at all in normal Wine, so I'm trying out Crossover(v9).
Everything installs fine, but when i go to add the exchange server account, it pops up a dialog asking for my username and password. Once i enter them and hit return, the dialog just reappears over and over and never actually lets me in.
I have tried doing the exact same process in crossover in a Ubuntu VM, and it all works fine, but if i package it up and bring it back to arch, the same problem pops up, and there's still no way to get out.

This really is a killer problem for me as the only way I can access my mail and public folders is through a VM on my machine, but the poor Atom N280 is struggling running that with anything else.

Anyone have any idea how I can fix this, or have some sort of alternative way to get the same thing?

Don't know about Outlook/Crossover, but you could give davmail a try. I have imap/caldav/ldap configured in thunderbird/lightning and it works fine so far.

looks interesting. does that allow access to Public folders though? That's the real sticking point in most cases for me.
Address book isn't a big deal, but the public calendar is essential.

Didn't test it, but

public calendars are supported, use /public instead of /users in calendar
URL.

However, public folders in general could be a problem:

Public folder support is partially implemented but still highly

In thunderbird, you can try to set /public in IMAP account advanced server
options as public folder path, this may or may not work.
