Oh, no.  We've had this discussion before.  I'll acknowledge it might
be a fine program, running stand-alone but the Connector plugin into
Exchange is *awful* to use.  Even when I managed to get it running
consistently (tho, extremely slowly), it seemed to delight in holding
on to all the appointment reminders and then giving them all in a row,
long after the meeting had started.  *shiver*

If you have to use Exchange, far better to just put up with the web
interface (or run outlook under a VM).
