Outlook uses MAPI (Microsoft's Messaging API, not IMAP) to pass shared
folder and calendaring information to and from Exchange. As I said
before, I didn't see anything on the page to suggest that MAPI was
supported by Mozilla. How does using Mozilla's Own Special Version of
calendaring help you in an Exchange environmnet?

How do you go about "emulating" IMAP? IMAP's behavior is spelled out in a
set of RFCs. You either support the RFCs, or you don't. It's like saying
that IIS or Apache has HTTP emulation.
