My favourite workaround is to beg for the Microsoft Exchange Server to
have/get IMAP enabled (this is what I use).

Second thing to try is to run Evolution¹, and have that run all new
emails through deliver or similar, and have Gnus slurp them from
/var/mail/.

Thirdly there is a project to write a MAPI-library, they might have some
stuff to fetch emails with - the project is called OpenChange¹.


  Best of luck,

    Adam

¹ http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/ - what versions of Exchange it
  can talk to currently I'm not sure.
² http://www.openchange.org/
