I thought some people here would be interested:
Recently SOGo added support for OpenChange, which means Outlook can natively
access it via MAPI the same way as Exchange. Everything is open source, and the
great thing about SOGo is that it uses existing IMAP server for mails rather
than reimplementing yet another one itself. They seem to prefer Cyrus, but
apparently Dovecot should work too. For non-mail (calendar, etc) it uses SQL,
but I heard it's not too difficult to replace that either if someone would
prefer some NoSQL database or something.

Interesting.
Now I wonder whether this already supports the SOAP-based EWS protocol,
which is - apparently - MS's new alternative to MAPI. Well, unlike MAPI,
it is appears to be well-documented [1], making development in that
direction relatively straightforward I can imagine.
