Collecting mail from an MS exchange server

[fortytwo]

Hi all,

I asked this question in the Linux forum but no-one seems to have an answer so I thought maybe someone here would be able to help.

--------------------------------
At work I have to use an MS box for my desktop for a couple of reasons, the main one being that all mail is handled by an exchange server that pushes the mail each users PC in real time.  It isn't IMAP or POP as far as I can tell but it acts *like* IMAP in the way it works.  Does anyone know of a way of interfacing with the exchange server from my linux machine so I can collect my mail?  I can't use POP or IMAP unfortunatly as it is company policy for us to use this current system.
--------------------------------

Does anyone here have any ideas what protocal outlook uses to collect messages from an exchange server or how a third party program can go about interfacing in the same way?

Thanks
Will.
