I have Kontact running on SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 here at work 
talking to Microsoft Exchange with a mailbox having 20 000+ messages.
- Mail (using imap) works.
- Contacts using Filter (|(&(objectCategory=Group)(mail=*))
(objectCategory=User)) works.
- Calendar mostly works. Occassionally loose an appointment when adding to the 
Exchange calendar so I have to check after accepting an appointment.
- Mail search works and is relatively quick. 

Another mail client you might want to look at is Mailody 
(http://www.mailody.net/) - a mail client with a slightly different interface 
so the standard one. It's still under development but is suppose to be quite 
stable (though I haven't tried it myself).
