I've not done this myself, but if faced with the same problem, I'd
probably use fetchmail to connect via POP3/IMAP to the exchange server
and then deliver the mail to Maildirs on the exim box. If you do it
right, I think the received times will be all ok .. not sure.
Certainly let us know your experiences! I hope my organization will
take the step away from Exchange someday soon :)
How are you going to deal with the calendar issue?
