firstly, thank you to everyone that has chimed in. :)

secondly, yesterday i reconfigured Evolution Email on my Kubuntu box
specifically for communicating with our hosted exchange server via IMAP.  to
say that it was problematic, would be an understatement.  i'm sure the error
was on my end.

i did some research on what IMAP can and cannot do - by what i read, it
cannot do anything with the exchange shared calendars, even my own at that
point.  if that is accurate, then unfortunately, that is a show stopper for
me - my ability to read/edit my exchange calender is absolutely required.

this goes back to why i was curious if something similar to Evolution with
its Exchange capabilities exists on the OM platform or not.

and, i just did some more reading.

if i'm not mistaken, M$ does offer a manner by which IMAP4 Rev1 can share
out the calendar function via an IMAP type connection.

also, Mobi Phil, do you used the shared calendar function as well as just
the standard email portion?  if yes, would PINE run on an Open Moko device?
