The evolution-connector package provides Exchange connectivity in CentOS5, however it only works for Exchange 2003 and older. Newer versions of Evolution also have an evolution-exchange package which can connect with newer versions of Exchange. This is apparently reasonably stable for most setups - it doesn't, however, work well in more complex arrangements involving proxies and so on. There is another package at alpha/beta level called evolution-ews which looks very promising. Unfortunately it needs Evolution 2.32 or later. P.
