Not true at all.
In the late '90s, I used to run HP OpenMail to Schedule+ and,
later, Outlook 97/98/2000 clients using it's MAPI SP.
Turn of the millenium, I used to use Bynari InsightConnector
for Outlook 98/2000 clients using its more stable connection
than a MAPI SP.
And there are countless other examples.
But no, you can't just drop in one vendor's solution for
another without some changes. I don't know any solutions in
the world that work that way.
But I can tell you it's far, far less painful to upgrade to a
Samba server (and a _real_ enterprise backend) from a NT4.0
domain than to ADS.
