We have an exchange 2007 server configured on a windows server 2003 system in our domain. We have 2 Mac systems (very new) which were using the mac mail client and were able to send and receive mail from this. I only know of three currently-available Mac mail clients that support Exchange: Mail (the mail client included with OS X) Outlook 2011; Outlook for Mac (AKA Outlook v15, AKA Outlook 2016), currently available only to Office 365 subscribers.

Mac Outlook Client For Exchange 2007
Kind of related to this question here - has anyone here succesfully deployed exchange (2007) clients on the Mac? And I don't just mean access to the mailbox, but the whole kit - calendars, invitations, tasks, etc.
Not being familiar with administering Macs we have a new employee who is BYO'ing his Macbook and due to politics there's nothing I can do except suck it up and deal with it, and I just know that if he's not on the exchange for real it's going to cause problems when he misses meeting invitations and doesn't complete tasks because he doesn't have access to that functionality (and we all know who will get blamed).

Two options..
Best ftp client for mac os sierra. Best open source ftp client for mac. I use Entourage. Haven't tried the Exchange support in OS X 10.6 yet.

Going forward, Office 2010 for Mac will include Outlook, not Entourage. This will presumably have full support, just as Outlook for Windows does. Until that time, as others have said, 10.6 (Snow Leopard) will likely be your best choice. Especially considering the very modest price.

If you're using Entourage for mac I would HEAVILY recommend the newly released update for Entourage - web services edition. You'll find it here: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/itpros/entourage-ews.mspx
This update uses Exchange Web Services to talk to you Exchange servers, instead of the old (and horrific) webdav way of doing this. Webdav required some tweaking on your servers, which could be bothersome. The EWS update installes on top of your Entourage installation and makes everything a blast. The updated Exchange support in snow leopard also uses EWS. Use one of the two. It will make your life easier.

The Snow Leopard support is pretty good. It doesn't support delegation, access to other mailboxes, etc. But it's great for everything else, and I have an assistant for the rest :)
Entourage sucks in many ways; don't subject your users to it.

If you have Exchange 2007, you can use MacOS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) for most of the features that you have in Entourage.
If you are on Exchange 2003 then you have to use Entourage to get the full experience.
You can always just use IMAP and stick to just email, but that's not that good of an idea.

Also, you will want to make sure you have a proper SSL cert so you don't get SSL cert validty errors on the Mac client (ie: don't use the default SSL cert..), etc.

As other people have answered, Snow Leopard has support for Exchange 2007. Instant client for mac os x (ppc).
However, be aware that the minimum version of Exchange Server 2007 supported is Service Pack 1 Update Rollup 4, which was released in July 2008. (From http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html).
