Unfortunately no.    No one has as far as i know worked on trying to rev
engineer the rpc protocol implemented ontop of
MAPI yet.
As far as i could tell when i looked at it about 2 years ago,   it did not
look like any known encodings like
BER/DER  NDR etc etc.
Could be PER but I dont know.

If one knew what DLLs are used with the process maybe one can make a gues
son what kind of wire encoding is used.

But i fear it would be a lot of work required to reverse engineer it. A lot
of work.
It would probably also require one to have a full blown exchange setup with
clients where one can make a small operation and see
what rpc they generate.
