I don't know from OpenMail, but I do know from bitter
experience that Exchange doesn't even work & play well
with other M$FT Office products. We have an internal
billing process that relies largely on an Excel
spreadsheet, which (all other things being equal) should
e-mail itself when the users are done filling in the data.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work with Exchange servers, 
just Outlook...so I ask you, if Exchange doesn't even 
work with its own cousins, how could OpenMail possibly
be any worse?
