MAPICDO and Exchange Server 2013
I’ve just been given clearance to publicize this since apparently it was discussed at MEC: The MAPICDO download *will* be updated to support Exchange Server 2013. This is important because:
- As has been discussed, Exchange Server 2013 will only allow MAPI connections over RPC/HTTP, aka Outlook Anywhere.
- RPC/HTTP is (until now) only implemented in Outlook’s MAPI.
So without this update to MAPICDO, the only MAPI implementation which would be able to connect to Exchange 2013 would be Outlook’s MAPI.
Publication dates, instructions for usage, etc. are all forthcoming.
Enjoy!

Any idea when we can expect this? I am very curious if this will make the current releases of Blackberry Enterprise server compatible with Exchange 2013.Anonymous

@Matt - have a look at RIM's KB article KB33406 - it also mentions MR2 for BES 5.0.4 which as i understand is still under testing with an eta of mid Feb 2013 release dateAnonymous
February 10, 2013
So right now with Exchange 2013, I'm out completely! This is the worst thing ... the worst service - ever. MR2 is not available, and the Mapi/CDO is not available - so none of my client's blackberrys will work. Great. Blackberry didn't have any trouble selling me BES in it's broken state.Anonymous

MR2 for 5.0.4 is out and word has it that the MAPI/CDO will be released when 2010 Sp3 & the co-existence patch for 2007/2013 is released (2-3 weeks out)Anonymous
February 11, 2013
I heard the mapi/cdo will be released on the same day as sp3 for 2010 & the 2007/2013 co-existence patch. Timeframe is 2-3 weeks so I've heard...Anonymous

Steve, My question is same as above! Exchange 2010 SP3 is here, just been released few Hours ago www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx So where is the MAPI CDO for Ex 2k13?Anonymous
February 20, 2013
The MAPI CDO download could be this: www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx But where is the documentation? Just opening the profile wizard of that package does not reveal any RPC over HTTP settings. Steve, can you share information on how to configure profiles to work with exchange 2013? Thanks SvenCAnonymous
February 27, 2013
That version is the one listed on bby website for the CDO www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspxAnonymous
