Outlook works, but its imap support is 'somewhat broken'. The Bynari 
insight connector acts as a MAPI-to-IMAP plugin, so that Outlook can use 
its MAPI implementation and have the connector take care of the imap 
back-end.
That should also remove the need for both a Personal Folders and an imap 
top-level mailbox in Outlook. Reducing the risk of people storing messages 
in Personal Folders, making them inaccessible from the webmail.

My question is towards anyone here who might have any experience with 
using the combination dovecot+bynari insight connector. Why? Because 
dovecot is not explicitly supported, but may work very well regardless. 
Any tweaks (there is one about shared calendars, for example) you could 
apply for better performance, ... that kind of things.

Or, maybe someone has experience with another plugin/connector between 
dovecot and outlook.

Hope it's a bit clearer now.
