Configure the Exchange server to allow IMAP.

Alternatively POP3 can be used by both Outlook Express and Gnus, but
you then lose co-existance.

If it is a server based address book, enable LDAP on the server, and
use eudc in Emacs (comes with Emacs as of 21.1). Otherwise use BBDB in
Emacs (bbdb.sourceforge.net), but I am not sure if you can import from
Outlook yet (there is an export filter for outlook format included
BBDB 2.32 though).

Not a problem for messages if you use IMAP, or for addresses if you
use LDAP, since in those cases everything is stored on the server.
