OK, progress!  I wasn't getting any messages about libmapi.so.0, so I 
copied all files out of the $libdir/evolution/2.12 directory into the 
$libdir/evolution/2.22 directory and then I got the message about 
libmapi.so.0.  I created the symlink to libmapi.so.0.7 and now the 
plugin is listed in evolution and stays checked over evolution restarts :)

But, when I go to configure the email account and click on the 'Receive 
email' tab, I got a message about "can't load plugin 
'libcamel-1.2.so.10': cannot open".  I had a look and Ubuntu 8.04 has 
libcamel1.2-11 installed, not -10.  I tried symlinking to the -11 
version, but when hitting the 'Receive email' tab, get a camel-WARNING 
message about 'CamelMapiStores' has smaller class size than parent 
'CamelOfflineStore' and Exchange MAPI still does not appear in the list 
of available methods for receiving email.

Any ideas on how/where to get libcamel1.2-10 for Ubuntu?  I'll start 
looking.

Cheers,
