I used Entourage for a while on an Exchange 2000 server. It works, but 
not as good as the Outlook client.
Depending on de Exchange server imap or pop3 might or might not be 
enabled. If memory serves me well, Exchange 5.5 does not enable it by 
default, exchange 2000 does. You can use imap en smtp for receiving and 
sending your mail. Your appointments on the exchange server are stored 
in a folder calendars which is accessible only via imap. The 
appointments are stored in an unusable way, but when you drag & drop 
those entries onto your calendar in Entourage they will appear there. 
You can invite people in your calendar and they will get an invitaton 
just as if you used the Outlook client.

Public folders are not accessible from within Entourage. Another option 
is the Outlook Web Access (OWA) which is enabled by default on Exchange 
2000. Just use your favourite webbrowser to be able to access all your 
info on the exchange server using http://exchangeservername/exchange. 
Just use your NT username/password/domain to log in.

Hope this info helps,

Ron
