I was more so thinking along the lines of seeing if we could obtain Exchange connectivity from a PC perspective, rather than a mobile device perspective.

For example, I don't know if Microsoft Outlook has any concept of provisioning, because it doesn't run on a mobile device. And in the same way, I might expect Evolution to act the same.

Seems more like a pipe dream than anything else though, as I don't know if I'd have the dedication necessary to go through with such a project. More of just a curiosity than anything else..
