Yep (on the list :)
Results so far are indecisive... I'm extremely busy with other things at work 
atr the moment so I haven't had time to test . I fiddled around with it and 
some stuff seems to work, some stuff doesn't.

You're very welcome. Previous place of work had exchange 5.5 and I never could 
get KDE - 3.1 KOrganizer to work. Exchange 2000 seems to be _more_ open than 
5.5.

Start with building the latest cvs version and checking bugs would be a good 
first step. Carlos wrote an excellent build guide.
If you are by any chance running gentoo linux, you can also rebuild your 
stable kdepim package with debug information by running 
"USE="debug" emerge kdepim" Be aware that whis will double the space of the 
resulting executables. It will also allow you to get backtraces and debuginfo 
on current bugs & crashes.

Should you have any questions feel free to ask.

Cheers,
