MAPICDO and Exchange Server 2013

I’ve just been given clearance to publicize this since apparently it was discussed at MEC: The MAPICDO download *will* be updated to support Exchange Server 2013. This is important because:

1. As has been discussed, Exchange Server 2013 will only allow MAPI connections over RPC/HTTP, aka Outlook Anywhere.
2. RPC/HTTP is (until now) only implemented in Outlook’s MAPI.

So without this update to MAPICDO, the only MAPI implementation which would be able to connect to Exchange 2013 would be Outlook’s MAPI.

Publication dates, instructions for usage, etc. are all forthcoming.

Enjoy!

  This is great news! So I guess the next item on your April Fool's list is Unicode PST support, right? :-) Thanks Steve!

  Stephen - is there any documentation on how to convert existing MAPI applications to use RPC over HTTP please - I can't find any? Andrew.

  Documentation will be included either with or alongside the updated MAPICDO when it's published.

  Any idea when we can expect this? I am very curious if this will make the current releases of Blackberry Enterprise server compatible with Exchange 2013.

  So right now with Exchange 2013, I'm out completely! This is the worst thing ... the worst service - ever. MR2 is not available, and the Mapi/CDO is not available - so none of my client's blackberrys will work. Great. Blackberry didn't have any trouble selling me BES in it's broken state.

  MR2 for 5.0.4 is out and word has it that the MAPI/CDO will be released when 2010 Sp3 & the co-existence patch for 2007/2013 is released (2-3 weeks out)

  I heard the mapi/cdo will be released on the same day as sp3 for 2010 & the 2007/2013 co-existence patch.  Timeframe is 2-3 weeks so I've heard...

  The MAPI CDO download could be this: www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx But where is the documentation? Just opening the profile wizard of that package does not reveal any RPC over HTTP settings. Steve, can you share information on how to configure profiles to work with exchange 2013? Thanks SvenC
