You were probably thinking about IMAP. There are IMAP servers for
Linux, but they are something else. AFAIK there is nothing MAPI for
Linux. As others have said, there is nothing to stop you from using
SMTP and POP3 servers which are universally present on Linux, and
trashing Microsoft Exchange. If you don't want to do that, if you
want a drop-in replacement for Microsoft Exchange, I think you are
stuck.
I'm a little surprised, because it's been a crying need for several
years, that there is no useful group scheduling software for Linux,
nothing that will allow meetings to be scheduled. That would need
e-mail oriented calendar servers on all the workstations. Maybe I
just haven't found it, but AFAIK it doesn't exist.
Even that would not help you, of course, because you want to use
Microsoft Outlook.
