Yep. There are not enable nor ready for prime time.
Have you use CMC or MAPI before?
See doc/rfc/CMC* for more info on CMC.
I do not know if this will be successfull.
I was trying to get X/Open MHS(Mail Handling Standard)
CMC 2.0 and VIM2. But it looks they all fail and
everyone is turning to MAPI as the definitive std.

Messaging APIs allow developers to build E-mail interfaces into a variety of
applications. The
leading programmatic APIs in the E-mail industry are MAPI (from Microsoft), VIM
(from a
consortium of companies), and CMC (from the X.400 API Association. MAPI 1.0, or
Extended MAPI,
defines a complete architecture for messaging applications. This architecture
defines both
messaging clients and messaging services.
Simple MAPI is a subset of Extended MAPI and includes the 12 most common API
calls. VIM is an
open interface defined by Apple, Borland, IBM, Lotus, MCI, Novell, and Oracle.
VIM is a
complex API that allows developers to access a wide variety of messaging
systems on a wide
variety of operating systems. CMC 1.0 is an open standard that is widely
supported in the
industry. It is a simple API (10 calls) that provides a set of high-level
functions for
mail-enabled applications to send and receive electronic messages. CMC 2.0 will
be a complex
API that runs on the same level as MAPI 1.0 and VIM 1.0.
