IIRC, MAPI is, as the name would suggest, merely an API. An implementation
of MAPI under Linux would do you no good whatsoever. What you need is
something that implements the Exchange wire protocol. There are currently
no free solutions that do this. Luke Leighton is currently the only one
that I'm aware of that's working on reverse engineering that protocol,
and he has made some progress. It's still some way from being able to
code up a suitable free implementation, though.
