Huh? Has nobody tried using Evolution with Exchange?
{{{
Package: evolution-exchange
Description: Exchange plugin for the Evolution groupware suite
The Evolution Exchange Connector adds support for Microsoft Exchange 2000
and 2003 to the Evolution groupware suite.
It uses the functionality of Outlook Web Access (OWA) to integrate with
Exchange. Therefore, it is a requirement that OWA is enabled on the
corporate Exchange infrastructure.

As far as I can tell, Exchange support is the entire point of Evolution’s
existence in the universe, so it’s absolutely worth trying that before
hacking the panel icon to open OWA.
