Okay, good to hear this was investigated (Zephyr made it sound like it
wasn’t).

That’s unfortunate. Does exchange.mit.edu not support MAPI? Does that
mean you can’t access it with MS Outlook, either? Are we likely to be
able to get that changed?
If we can get MAPI, this plugin is in Jaunty:
Package: evolution-mapi
Version: 0.26.0.1-0ubuntu2
Description: Evolution extension for MS Exchange 2007 servers
A provider for Evolution that can connect to Exchange 2007 servers and
also to Exchange 2003, 2000 and 5.5.
