I have never heard of a MAPI client for Linux and my guess is that you
will not find one. I think they what you want to do here is use the SMTP
features of MS Exchange (I believe it can act like a standard SMTP
server?). Once you have have it talking SMTP, any mail client, including
Outlook can interface with it. Of course, if you run Exchange in purely
SMTP mode you don't get to use the "features" of Exchange, and you might
as well switch to sendmail/exim/... if you are doing pure SMTP. MS
Outlook can speak SMTP no problem.
