Ive never been able to get evolution mapi or evolution exchange working
to exchange 2003! - evo ver 2.26, I have just upgraded to gnome 2.28 and
will retry it again soon, but dont hold out much hope.

IMAP support is for reading mail, not sending.

The institution I am trying to connect to also requires you use an ISP
to send mail when off-campus - part of trying to stop spammers and
relays is to accept mail from on-campus only.

Lastly, DavMail is a working solution for evolution and exchange.  You
connect to it using IMAP and SMTP and it talks to exchange on your
behalf over OWA.
