That is not an unreasonable expectation, but unfortunately, that is not
the case.  MAPI is a general-purpose email interface.  The model is that
there is some anonymous and faceless server that is offering to handle
MAPI requests.  MAPI was actually developed well before Outlook; Outlook
offers MAPI services only because it is sensible for it to do so, but
it's an add-on.  It's not a core part of Outlook's world, and as you can
see, the integration is not particularly tight.
