I want to configure Microsoft Exchange emails on Ubuntu the way I use it in Outlook on Windows XP. Please help me to find a good step by step article.
By looking at your question, I'm quite unsure whether you exactly need Exchange itself or if it's just POP/IMAP which would be fine. Having said that, Exchange servers usually support POP and IMAP connections if I'm not mistaken. In which case, you can use clients like Thunderbird, Entourage.. etc. Nevertheless, this will not give the complete experience of the Exchange services. Anyhow, If you're to make a use of POP/IMAP service, it should be allowed from the Exchange side.
Now coming back to Exchange configuration; I've not tested it completely but Evolution worked well with mine.
Installing the client is pretty straightforward and available to install in official repo's (but I would still recommend to add your Ubuntu version when posting a question which will help us to assist better). Simply open the Ubuntu Software Center and search for Evolution, then hit on install as seen below.
Email configuration is pretty straightforward too. You can go through the process of adding a new mail account just like you do it on a Microsoft Outlook client. Meanwhile, I've found a video log on Connecting Evolution (On Ubuntu 11.10) to Exchange 2010 which may help you to further understand.
P.S. I do not know your Ubuntu version nor the Exchange version you're using. But above said process would follow the same mostly.
Hope this helps! :)
