Hi Brad,
Thanks for the kind response. I will look into the exchange2mbox
utility as it sounds like it does the "hard" half. Anything I am able
to come up with I will be glad to contribute back to your group. Like
too many of us, I am not allowed to make getting mail to work impact
my job (as if being forced to switch to Windows and use Outlook
wouldn't!) but I do have a certain level of personal interest in
finding the alternative :-)
One other question, do you know if anyone has built libmapi on MacOS
X. I tried a few times but it quickly got messy with the dependencies
on Samba 4, etc. At this moment I am using Ubuntu 8.10 for this work
because openchange "just works" there. Who ever made those packages
available and into Ubuntu, thank you thank you thank you!

Hello,
Hi Paul,
First, thank you for taking on the project of OpenChange. It is
great
to see these tasks tackled.
Nice to be appreciated :-)
My company was recently acquired by a corporation which does not
support any standard mail protocols for e-mail access and thus we
must
use MAPI enabled mail clients. Since many of us would prefer to stay
with our existing mail clients I am interested in an MAPI gateway.
Two possibilities come to mind:
1) A simple proxy which supports incomming Secure IMAP connections
and talks out MAPI out the back end.
2) A simply utility which reads mail using MAPI and forwards that
mail to a different mail account via the SMTP protocol.
We don't yet have such proxies. Contributions would of course be much
appreciated.
One thing that might be useful is a command line utility
"exchange2mbox" which
can sync a local mbox to a single user's exchange mailbox. It comes
with
openchange.
The only other suggestion I can make is that recent versions of
evolution ship
with Exchange support (using OpenChange libmapi library). If you are a
current user of Evolution, then that might be a possibility.
HTH
Brad
