The mail guys just asked if we could switch to mapi. They, apparently, would prefer it that way. I have no problem telling them it won't work.

Typically this involves using SSL so the transaction is encrypted (POP3 is very insecure without it). MS Exchange accounts can be set to allow for POP3 access. In larger companies it is often required to set one server aside as the "Special" pop3 server and firewall it off/lock it down so only the server(s) that need to access it can get to it.

The MAPI implementation requires a JNI library to call MAPI functions that is provided as a dll (eg armapi71.dll). This is only supplied with a Windows email engine, there is no Unix/Linux equivalent.

What linux MAPI client are you using to do so?
