We probably digressed on the subject of Thunderbird. It can't talk MAPI to server - i meant. It supports MAPI as way to allow windows to route the emails through it. More here:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/MAPI_Support Back to your issue: Python + Zimbra. Zimbra can speak both MAPI and IMAP. For what you need (email client) - IMAP is sufficient. if you can convince the admin t share with you IMAP set up for Zimbra, your problem is solved. If MAPI is all the server can talk, and it's not actual Exchange, use a MAPI client to talk to it. You don't need Outlook to talk to MAPI server. You can get barebones MAPI libs on a windows machine and have Redemption to talk to it. Either way, MAPI to server is a pain. Better try to get IMAP settings exposed to you to the Zimbra server, then use the flavor of Python you want with standard IMAPlib module.
