My contract was for development (in the Linux group) so I wasn't in a
postion to recommend major changes to their corporate IT infrastructure.

My solution was to use Gnus, with IMAP and LDAP support. Almost any e-mail
client would do, Gnus just happens to be my preferred client.

Of course, you don't get calendaring with this approach. For calendaring, I
bit the bullet and used Outlook via rdesktop.
