The client had a Exchange 2003 setup. So I took the advice offered by 
the list members and ended up creating public folders ham/spam and the 
pull the email via imap.

You will have to enable IMAP4 for Exchnage 2007 (look in services) then 
you should be able to do the same.

I have a test exchange 2007 setup. I will try it on that and post an 
update if anything different needs to be done.
