There's a few other similar programs mentioned here[0], but I haven't 
tested any of them so I have no idea how well they work.  The only other 
  thing I can think of as far as software clients go is Evolution, which 
is supposed to have good support for Exchange/OWA.  Of course, if you're 
wanting to avoid using Outlook on a Windows box rather than wanting to 
hook into Exchange from a *nix box that doesn't really help you much. 
And there's always the option of just logging directly into OWA with 
your browser and leaving it open as a tab.
