[PERDITION-USERS] libmapi support

hi i'm working for a company that uses exchange as a corporate mailserver. unfortunately the admin boneheads don't allow me to connect via imap. however, i managed to create connectivity via openexchange (libmapi). i can list all my folders, retrieve mails and so on. the ideal solution for me however would be to use imap. a bit of research led me to perdition. if i could have something like a local imap2mapi proxy this would solve my problem. perdition would have to use libmapi (http://www.openchange.org/) as backend and translate imap commands to mapi (vice versa). has this been discussed before? is something like that planed? are there better ways or other solutions available to my problem? any input is gratefully appreciated. sandra
