I loved the tacit acknowledgement that NT TCP/IP is differn't.  ;)

Yes, Samba supports Domain login, but I'm not sure that it buys you
anything.  Samba is primarily a file & print service platform.  There's
smbclient, which provides you an ftp-like interface.  On Linux, you might
be able to smbmount NT or Samba shares (though there's a lot of work still
to be done on smbfs).

So, for E'mail you should be able to use pop or imap.  The NTDomain 
username/password should work.

The tougher question is the the one about using Access...  I'd suggest 
a visit to the archives at Freshmeat.net.
