Apparently mail.app will be able to use exchange servers! I'm still screwed because of calendering functionality, but at least I can get mail at work without using classic. Maybe this is why MS isn't making a carbon version of Outlook.

I don't know what that means, though. You can send and receive email from Exchange servers with Entourage or Mail.app right now - I do it every day.

My guess is that they are adding something to be able to use and search the Exchange Address Book/Database. I assume you cannot currently do that in any mail clients except Outlook.
I think Exchange supports LDAP, so it will probably just be using that to access the Exchange directory.

From what i understand, Outlook Express or Entourage can only access Exchange if the adminstrators allow IMAP or POP account access. Recently, our company closed this type of access and only the Outlook client is able to retrieve email from Exchange. Since Outlook does not have an OSX version, one is forced to use the Outlook client via Classic. If Apple is implying that the Mail.app will also be able to access Exchange the same way as Outlook that would go a long way in the business community.

I was so happy to hear this. It is very annoying for me to be unable to access the Exchange address book. Hopefully this means that email apps like Mail and Entourage will be able to access it. In fact, I'm sure it means that Entourage will have Exchange access by the end of the summer.
As it stands now, Exchange networks are only accessible via POP or IMAP and only if that's enabled on the server side, as our good colleague irfoton pointed out.

You can pick up mail from Exchange because the administrators have set up POP3 or IMAP access. It's not the same as native Exchange support.
The logical extension of this is to support your Outlook Address Book in the NEW! Address Book app. If it's not hidden under the Directories icon yet, then I'm sure it's coming....
Add a PIM-type program (Apple are SURELY developing one, based on current evidence!) and you've got a lot of Outlook's most useful features.
Wow - this strategy of embracing as many protocols as possible is looking like such a winner!
