And evolution-exchange uses webdav (emulating what outlook web access does),  

I've also tried evolution-exchange and my experience was pretty awful.  
Stephen in an email a little while ago mentioned evolution-brutus which 
sounds interesting unfortunately it seems like evolution-brutus is a server 
which must be set up on a Windows server.

If you are given an exchange server I don't think there's any way around it.  
Use outlook, use a blackberry (if you have blackberry enterprise server) or 
use outlook web access.  I use rdesktop to login to a Windows server and run 
outlook natively from there.
