I'm doing the exact same (migrating away from Exchange 2000 to 
OpenGroupware & $imap_server). However, I'm keeping Active Directory and 
using winbind to present the Windows users on my Linux machines, just 
like I do with my fileservers. Works a treat, and I've already got email 
being delivered to the system flawlessly. I can even su to a Windows 
user, and in a second pam_mkhomedir has done its work and logged me in.

Just another avenue for you to investigate if you like.
