That's why I'm supposing the "Exchange Emulator" being a more complex trial than Outlook connector.

I think what most people are missing here is that even if you manage to implement the binary Exchange protocol (which would be awesome!) you *still* need a connector.
Well, and the only connector for the Exchange protocol is the Exchange connector from MS which is AFAIK licensed with the Exchange CAL.


So the "only" gain would be that you can use a free software, you would still need to pay the same license fees as for an Exchange setup (or write an own connector which implements the Exchange protocol ...).

BTW: a similiar thing hurt the Ximian Connector - to access Exchange using the Exchange WebDAV protocol you still need to purchase the CAL.
