Anyway, I've been having a bit of a hoohaa trying to install ximian connector (or evolution 2) so that I can read my college emails from home. God bless Cornwall College for choosing to use Exchange! There seem to be quite a number of libraries that I will need in order to get either of these to work, and they appear to be available only in the Sid/unstable branch. I am unsure, however, about the stability of Sid.
I have been using Sid for several months on both my work and home desktop machines and have not lost the desktop yet although apt-get can sometimes leave a program in an unusable condition for a few weeks. Only once have I had to revert to a previous version of some updated software to get me out of a hole. I am not about to blame anyone but myself if this sort of thing or worse causes me problems. It's my choice to opt for an unstable distro after all. I guess I am just hooked on having the latest versions.
Or does anyone know of any other programmes that I can use (front-end like Evolution, or backend like Connector) to connect to an Exchange server?
Here's how I deal with my employers Exchange server. I grab my email into kmail via pop3 onto my work machine and make quite sure that my Mail folder (about 80mb) is backed up. For everything else and other places I use Outlook Web Access. I have given up reading work emails at home. That way lies chaos.
