Okay, I build this, needed a

export QT_SELECT=4

to make it use qt 4 instead of qt 5 includes and install libwbxml2-dev 
package on Debian Sid.

It downloads 100 random mails each time I tell it for check for mail. That 
works.

But then it also says something about deleting mails from server.

Can this be disabled? I donĀ“t want to delete mails from the server. It 
apparently really deleted those mails from the inbox folder of the server 
from what I can tell from OWA. Funnily on moving them back from the local 
folder, its seems Akonadi duplicates. I have them in Exchange and local 
folders then as well. On moving they should be deleted from local folders. 
I will delete them locally once I confirmed they are really back in 
Exchange.

Also it just downloads from inbox it seems. Its resource that just 
downloads mail locally, is it? I expected something that I could use as 
replacement for Exchange IMAP access, but this seems more like POP3 access 
with deleting.

Anyway, basically it works and it receives mails via AirSync through 
Juniper SSLVPN, so thats quite nice.

Thanks,
