With the newest versions of OSX there are far fewer issues with hooking into a domain. The worst of it is finding where the hid the utility to do so. I would have to google it again to find out where it is but it is hiding in one of the utilities somewhere. The mail app that comes on OSX is perfectly capable of easily hooking into an exchange system with little to no setup beyond what is typically done for a windows based system with Microsoft Office. Or if your boss is feeling rich you can now buy Office native to MAC.
