+MicrosoftExchange
is the MicrosoftCorporation
mail/collaboration/groupware system. It supports access through [IMAP], [POP3], [NNTP], [SMTP],
its own proprietary MAPI protocol, and
a webmail client (OWA
, Outlook Web Access)
which can be accessed both directly by a WebBrowser and by other programs by means of a [DAV] interface. The latter is used by [Ximian]'s commercial connector
for [Evolution] to provide native access to MicrosoftExchange. This is handy if the MicrosoftExchange SysAdmin has disabled the internet protocols, or if you want to use MicrosoftExchange's calendaring under [Linux]

a ''typical pile of Microsoft shit, disguised as

several million for implementation
