Exchange's implementation of IMAP is poor, so IMAP access is not satisfactory.  
This is not a kmail issue but an Exchange one.  Evolution gets around this by 
using the OWA (http/webmail) interface.  This works really well because MS 
has tried to implement all of the features in the webmail interface.  
However, this causes problems whenever a new version of Exchange is 
introduced.  Because OWA is just HTML to the client, backward compatiblity is 
not an issue.  Everything takes place on the server.  But changing those 
calls breaks evolution-exchange.  Currently, evolution doesn't support 
Exchange 2007 for that reason.  It won't until at least March and I don't 
know when the update will be backported to LTS-type distros.
