MAPI doesn't depend on just those MS products.
MAPI depends on _any_ email client that supports the MAPI interface.
If you have no email client installed, then MAPI won't work.

MAPI has absolutely no idea how to send mail.
But it does know how to ask those who do know, to send the mail.

I use Eudora, and it supports MAPI, and when I used MAPI, Eudora came
up and handled the sending.
I would expect all the major emailers to handle it.
