Curious.  Does that mean that Outlook can talk to an Exchange mailbox
WITHOUT having it enabled for MAPI?  I would like to know more about
this.  One putative advantage of using MAPI, to me, would be that the
corporate IT department wouldn't even know you're using Evolution.  They
wouldn't have to make ANY changes specifically for Evo users, not even
to enable OWA (if they didn't have it enabled already).

So, if there are still Exchange mods that have to be made beyond what's
needed for Outlook users we should get in front of that I think.


Cheers!
