    I've tried evolution with the libmapi but it's pretty bad. The email is hard to read and my calendar doesn't update correctly.

    I liked kmail's interface better but there doesn't seem to be a mapi plugin?

    What do you use?

    I use Outlook 2003 under Wine. It's slow. Evolution was working fine until they upgraded my server to exchange 2007. Now the mapi plugin doesn't even work right.

    Exchange after 5.5 changed the OWA interface (the Evolution integration basically uses screen scraping), and I believe they deprecated WebDAV, which was the only way for any KDE apps to touch the calendar/mail. Unfortunately, there's not a good way to get to newer versions of Exchange from Linux other than Wine as far as I know.
