Hmm... Would I wreck havoc on that design if I figured out a way to save
the service->url during an Evolution session? I guess that would be
somewhere in gconf??

Not really, well.. yes, sort of...

MAPI operates with a concept of a MAPI Profile that is stored locally on
the physical client box, the Brutus server in this case. A client must
known the name of a profile to use before he can log onto an Exchange
account. Or create a Profile if one does not exist beforehand. 

The Profile name must therefore be equally accessible to mail and
calendar components during and across Evolution sessions.

It seems to me that it would be wrong to store the Profile name
somewhere Camel specific.

Any ideas?
