Evening, I've just subscribed to the list and is really pleased to see there is interest for MAPI and the evolution plugin. We indeed have a working implementation of an evolution plugin based on our MAPI library. The couple plugin+camel provider is able to setup an Exchange account, do name resolution, fetch, send and delete emails with/wihout attachments. Furthermore, we start to handle some MAPI flags for an enhanced display, such as the importance or if the mail has attachments. In the meantime, the plugin is still unstable and there is thread memory access violation + some refresh problems. When the openchange team in charge of the plugin development has fixed these issues, an official technical preview package should be released. I'll add some screenshots and a screencast as effective proof of the current implementation. Regarding the current MAPI library development on the MAILOOK branch, we have working tests on create/fetch appointments and create/fetch contacts. The openchange evo team will soon start investigations on calendering and contacts. If some of you folks have knowledge on the calendaring/contacts implementation in Evolution and have some time to share, it could really be worthwhile you discuss with the team and help them in this development process. We are also looking for beta testers which could help in bug discovery, so we can quickly improve the plugin scalability and reliability. Btw, Jelmer Vernooij from the Samba team is currently working on packaging Samba4 libraries for Debian. I think the talloc library is already available within debian experimental and other packages should be added soon. Regarding libmapi, Jelmer has done a great job on preparing the package and we look forward it being added to debian experimental in a near future.

Hopefully it can be made to work with Evolution.They have a "working" plugin for evo, too. But, it requires svn samba4, so I didn't try it. http://www.openchange.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=65&Itemid=74 DanielBut the code is there and thus the OP's request for info on mapi. I hope to see it work some day.
