I went ahead and used rpm to install the mapi rpms (and samba4, etc.).
The mapi plugin shows up and I've checked it but it won't stay checked
and when I try to create a mapi e-mail account there is no mapi option
to choose. I'm trying this on an i386 Dell Inspiron 2200 laptop running
Fedora 8 (with evolution installed).
