I am totally unfamiliar with Exchange servers. What do they offer, exactly, that dovecot/postfix does not (besides a revenue stream for MS)?
A monthly stipend to Microsoft?
(I think they actuallyy do offer some useful tools for things like meetings and calendars and such, including the 'feature' of being able to automatically add people to your itinerary.)

Fact: Exchange (especially hosted) is 2010-ish, Office365 is the buzzword these days. Microsoft have been trying their best for quite some time now to cripple the IMAP support in Outlook as much as they can so that the email users will move their email business with o365 which - surprise surprise! - is soooo easy to autodiscover, autoconfigure, autothis, autothat. It's all about integrated services run by few well known powerful monopolies and it's only gonna get worse.
