It works in controlled tests only currently.  It works enough that we can test 
things like imap connectivity, and see where issues are.  We are able to read 
messages, and differentiate the folders.  We hope to release a cvs snapshot 
of the source later this month that will do messagelistings inside of 
outlook.  We are currently fighting with MAPI property tables that are not 
allowing us the access to Outlook we desire.   Currently the transport is 
about 90% finished, its only really missing SSL support.  The messagestore is 
our current issue, and when that is done we will have a usable beta 
available.   I must note ANYTHING involving MAPI is like pulling teeth out of 
a rabid bear while smothered in raw ground beef.  

Due to lack of interest and the relivily slow pace of kolabs development we 
have been stuck on other projects.  As interest grows and now that kolab is 
stable enough for us to test on we are makeing further progress.

If people are interested we will have cvsweb and status available on our 
website http://www.sourcextreme.com.    Note this client is GPL and 
Opensource, but our company will be trying to make money off of the support 
and distribution.  That being said, when the source is ready we will also be 
ready for community involvement.  We would take it now, but we really dont 
have the infrastructure to do it in a manner that would do anyone any good.

We are psyched with a target of September for a RC (yeah comming from anything 
in this channel that means squat ;) but well see how it plays out, if we get 
a billion emails for clients/helpers/good veggie mexican food dontations it 
will happen faster)

Cheers
