Yeah, you can turn it on and off per user somewhere.  I can't remember where, 
maybe in AD.

IMAP is a great idea, in theory, were it not for the poor exchange 
implementation of it.  But even once you get IMAP working satisfactorily, you 
need to connect users to personal address books, and global address lists, 
personal and shared calendars.  I set it all up once with kontact, but I 
don't recall it be very satisfactory.
