I have been using Microsoft Exchange Data Provider with mixed success:

There are many caveats: you must use .11 and not .12 or you seem to get
locked out in AD. Your passphrase will not get saved in the password
manager...if you sausage-finger the passphrase, you will get locked out
in AD.
You could also try the davmail gateway, but I have not played with it in
some time...issues with repeating events and ghost events:
http://davmail.sourceforge.net/index.html
I would love to endorse any of these, but they are NOT READY FOR PUBLIC
USE in IU's Exchange environment. I have put the occasional bug report
in, but other tasks slowed that down for me.
Essentially, you still occasionally need OWA or the Outlook client.
