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/ -- "[...] but beyond that the Fry household had as much Adam Sjøgren interest or understanding of sport as a potato has of asjo@koldfront.dk Riemann's zeta function."
