A MAPI inbox is ActiveX (OLE) "structured storage". I'd shudder at trying to peel this thing apart on FreeBSD without ActiveX. If you accomplish that properly, it will be a significant development for free software ;-) If you decide to continue under Win32, you want to use "Simple MAPI" to keep from mucking about with ActiveX/COM interfaces directly. You can use any automation host for writing the program, even Excel's VB or ActiveWare Perl.
