Duh, packages.ubuntu.com was a good place to start...  I got 
libcamel1.2-10 (from the gutsy distro) and installed its dependency 
libnss3-0d (from heron) successfully.

However the same problem occurs, here is the message verbatim:
$ evolution
Loading Exchange MAPI Plugin

listener is constructed
BBDB spinning up...
camel-mapi-store.c(166):camel_mapi_store_get)type:Reached

(evolution:5980): camel-WARNING **: camel_type_register: 
'CamelMapiStores' has smaller class size than parent 'CamelOfflineStore'



And no Exchange MAPI method appears in the list of methods to receive email.

Any ideas on where to proceed next?
