Ah, of course. My bad..

So I created that link and a few others:

cd /opt/samba4/lib
sudo ln -s libmapi.so libmapi.so.0
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libcamel-1.2.so.11 libcamel-1.2.so.10
ïsudo ln
-s /usr/lib/libcamel-provider-1.2.so.11 ïlibcamel-provider-1.2.so.10

(I create the link in /opt/samba4/lib because then I haven't "disturbed"
my system by manually creating my own links, just in the /opt/samba4/lib
directory which is only scanned by evolution)

$ evolution --component=mail | tee evodebug.log
camel_junk_plugin_init

(evolution:26902): camel-WARNING **: camel_exception_get_id called with
NULL parameter.
Loading Exchange MAPI Plugin

listener is constructed

I can now check the Exchange MAPI plugin from plugins and re-start
Evolution and it's still checked. However, I cannot create any new
accounts with this type. This is not an option when I create new
accounts.
