Thanks Suman. A couple of follow up questions. 

Our server is 2003. Do the two connectors function in such a way that I can try 
the MAPI connector, but switch back to OWA when needed, i.e., are they 
activated and deactivated like plug ins?

Our domain controller/GAL server is behind our firewall. Browser access to OWA 
allows GAL look ups over the Internet from remote locations. Evo-OWA allows 
look ups over the LAN only; not from the other side of the firewall. Will 
evo-mapi facilitate GAL look ups remotely?  That is currently my main reason 
for wanting to try the MAPI connector.

The MAPI connector does _not_ have feature parity with the OWA connector.
http://www.go-evolution.org/MAPIProvider/vsOWA might be handy.

The OWA connector should provide all the functionality it used to
provide earlier. It is not deprecated yet and should still be bundled
with all major distributions alongside evolution-mapi.

If your exchange server is not exchange 2007 or newer, the OWA
connector should perform better than the MAPI connector. Although,
it'd be awesome if evolution-mapi gets a lot of testing :-)
