>I am not sure that your analysis of the binary RPC version of MAPI being replaced is actually accurate.

Grandpa AC is correct.. Microsoft is phasing out MAPI entirely and has already replaced it with an open implementation. ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb204042(EXCHG.140).aspx )

With the advent of Web Services in Exchange 2007 ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb408417.aspx ), clients including Outlook are moving to use standard protocols to access Exchange. Outlook 2007 made a huge step towards using HTTP, XML to access Exchange 2007.

Apple's Mail App requires Exchange 2007 because the Mail.app client is using Web Services to access. ( http://images.apple.com/macosx/exchange/docs/MacOSXSL_Exchange.pdf )

You link to to this but fail to explain or postulate whether this scenario falls into the Broken Windows Fallacy. There is a mathematical formula to determine the economic benefit of "breaking stuff" to the business economy... In some cases, if the formula does not prove beneficial, it falls under the "Broken Window Fallacy".
