That would be an option if Microsoft had not implimeted such a limited
set of IMAP features in Exchange.  Exchange does not support the
concept of master-user when using IMAP, so you'd need to have the 
password of every Exchange account you wanted to integrate with
Asterisk voicemail.

I suppose that the addition of IMAP support to Asterisk's voicemail
application might open the way for someone to look at using a MAPI
library, such as the one being developed by the OpenChange folks.
