We have several Outlook users, and have not had any complaints from them
about this setup.  Of course, that could be because most of these users
can't even figure out how to access their own IMAP folder, never mind a
centrally shared one :)

Oh, and fwiw, we're also using Kerberos for 'single sign on' as well.
(thought the windows side is lacking in this regard, since Outlook
offers no GSSAPI option for auth)

	It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing,
   but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.
