Yes the version of Evolution in CentOS is too old for most things. The
evolution-connector package provides Exchange connectivity in CentOS5,
however it only works for Exchange 2003 and older.
Newer versions of Evolution also have an evolution-exchange package
which can connect with newer versions of Exchange. This is apparently
reasonably stable for most setups - it doesn't, however, work well in
more complex arrangements involving proxies and so on.
There is another package at alpha/beta level called evolution-ews which
looks very promising. Unfortunately it needs Evolution 2.32 or later.
