Some more reverse engineering has to be done. Shame that MSRPC isnt a generic dce/rpc. Also I think MSRPC should be the main concern. On other hand, dbmail can be RAD'd to a state higher than MS Exchange. But the compatibility with a different email clients is a different issue(excluding pop3/imap), for Outlook it's easy to write an addin to draw the nice callendar(ie comm module) and store all the data(let say callender data, notes so so..) into a database.
