I've just read the following (part of a posting to the wine-devel 
mailinglist):

-----
The most interesting talk on Wednesday was given by Julien Kerihuel from 
OpenChange. The OpenChange people are building an open source replacement for 
Exchange. In order to properly support this, they are working on decoding the 
MAPI protocl, and they also provide a libmapi library for client 
applications. As a proof of concept, they have an evolution plugin that'll 
allow evolution to talk to exchange using MAPI. The talk had a couple of 
demonstrations of the functionality that were greeted with applause from the 
audience. While OpenChange still has a bumpy road ahead, I'm pretty sure they 
will manage. OpenChange is the Samba of groupware, definetely a project to 
watch.

Cheers,
Kevin
