Our corporate email group runs Exchange.  My MUA is Pine.  Outlook is not
an absolute requirement to work with Exchange.

(Okay, because I'm a former Postmaster and refugee from the mainframe
world, my setup is a little more complicated.  Incoming mail is sucked out
of Exchange using fetchmail, injected into Exim, and delivered to a local
mailbox.  Outgoing mail goes through Exim to wherever Exim thinks it
should go, and it does the Right Thing for mail back to Exchange
accounts.  It all gives me something to tinker with over lunch.  But Pine
plus a PGP/MIME filter should suffice, so long as Exchange is set up to
offer IMAP.)
