No, I'm not touching MAPI, only trying to fix the absolute path problem
with the "On This Computer" group.  Maybe instead of using "file://",
which already has an established meaning, we should just make one up so
the real absolute file system path is implicit.  Perhaps "local://", so
e_source_get_uri() would return "local://<<source-uid>>" and that would
fully describe an "On This Computer" source in the context of a given
source list.

Again, as far as I can tell the URI just needs to uniquely identify the
source.  It's not used -verbatim- to open files or connect to servers.
