AFAIK, Outlook works. At least 2003SP3 and 2007SP1 works here. Not sure what is so broken about it, but you can ask M$ why.
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.
