I doubt, this will not work: kontact assumes predefined names for the 
'groupware' IMAP folders, e.g. 'Contacts' for address data etc.
- dunno if exchange can be convinced to keep its data there ...

afaik, DIMAP is mandatory, otherwise, kontact will not use the folders as 
'groupware' storage.
I remember there was a wish at BKO to also accept pure IMAP for this, but the 
developers refused to realize this for some (weird) reason.
