Oh and of course from a pure protocol perspective, there is:
The TCP/IP Illustrated series of books.
Ultimately though, MAPI & such on the Windows side is pretty black box;
MSDN/Microsoft has programmatic references for it. On the other side,
your best bet is really the RFC's, other exploits previously coded, and
the software source code when you can get it.
