There is hope for linux desktops and Exchange 2010

Group!

I have been pledged with my company's decision to purchase exchange 2007 then to renew it for 2010.  I have only been able to use the web interface and then since it is not "winders" it is reduced to manually checking when I remember it.  I have almost missed meetings cause of this.  Now to the rescue, after others have given up, Thunderbird with a plug in!!!!!!

Granted, I had some tweeking to do, probably the most important the article does not mention it the fact that I had to remove the domain from infront of the username on the smtp yet place it there for the incoming part.  BUT IT WORKS, I am so happy!!!!
