If you have Exchange 2000 and later, go with Entourage.

For E'rage v.X, you have to enable IMAP/SMTP/LDAP/DAV
For E'rage 2004, you have to enable LDAP/DAV

If you have pre-Exchange 2000, then Outlook 2001 is still a good option.
It's a Classic app, but a good one, and the most full-featured Mac client
regardless of OS.

If you give us more information on your server setup, we can help you better
