[vox-tech] accessing an exchange server using OSS

[Peter Jay Salzman]

at work, i use windows.  at home, i use linux.  i know there's a lot of
people in the same position.

i'd like to find a way of checking work mail from home.  people talk
about something called an "exchange server" as if it were a mail spool.
perhaps an MTA.  it sounds like it does different things.

can someone tell me what an "exchange server" is?

and can i access one using open source tools (preferably mutt)?
