Another thing that would be at least better than what I have now is
using coolkey or something with IE in linux through wine.  Has anyone
done this?  I would at least get OWA premium if I did so.  I use
ies4linux which allows me to use IE, can I somehow get it to use
coolkey or something so it can access my card?

Web browsers like Firefox, SeaMonkey, Internet Explorer, and Safari can be configured to provide that certificate from a smart card.  Email clients like Evolution and Entourage don't know how to do that.  They know how to sign and encrypt/decrypt email messages using the certificates and keys on the smart card, but not how to provide the client certificate on an SSL connection.
