You don't even have to switch back and forth. You can have both
accounts (one OWA, one MAPI) active simultaneously.

No.. not as of now. IIRC, evo-mapi does not have a GAL implementation
yet in trunk. There was a hacked up version, based on LDAP but it was
buggy and required some new internal APIs. Bottomline is: evo-mapi
needs a GAL backend implementation. When it is done, its ability to
talk to GAL servers within the firewall is purely a function of
libmapi.
