We used isode imap gateway at two different sites to provide the needed idle 
support when connecting to Groupwise (no IDLE support in imap). 

It works fine.  It simply use pop in the background and exposes IMAP to the 
client (in this case sipx). 

I would think it would just fine with exchange as it uses POP to connect to the 
actual mailbox store.

what about an IMAP gateway /proxy / frontend for exchange server backend... 
just for SipX to talk to

In the UM worls there are two ways to do this: 



1. IMAP (if the vendor supports "SEARCHES" properly). 

2. GATEWAY - Back in the early 90's I was with a firm that did VM integration 
to Exchange, GroupWise and Lotus Notes. It was flawless. Each used a voicemail 
server (novell or windows) to integrate to the phone system (about 300 
different phones switches were supported). We had the voicemail come to the 
email account as a PCM file (tinier than MP3 rated way down) and auto 
upconverted on the PC it when you played it with a plugin, which was great on 
bandwidth. When you deleted the email, the gateway interacted with the mail 
server to also deleted the voice off of the voicemail system. The MWi light 
extinguished instantly. 



Someone would have to write a gateway that would work with exchange and HOPE 
they don't decide to keep putting out updates to break it too. It is difficult 
thinking that a gateway will be the right answer, I'd like to see an API into 
gmail myself first, but even google has a problem letting people into the 
message store. I don't think Redmond has EVER been any different.

imho i would suggest that the Unified Messaging built into SipX would be 
Exchange compatible. not everyone wants to pay for Enterprise CAL's for 
exchange 2010.. and SipX has a very nice implementation for UM using IMAP ... 
just should work with Exchange...

me either. I think the way to do this perhaps is with an api 4 specific imap 
implementations like the ones you mentioned.
