Can you elaborate why/how you're building things on your end.

Appveyor (admittedly using MSVC) and local [Archlinux]
cross-compilation via mingw-w64 works like a charm without any of
these.
Are you using the 'old' mingw aka mingw32 - it looks abandoned, so I'd
suggest sticking with the "w64" one.

Can I ask you to try and hookup mingw into our Appveyor builds - it
should be possible to use it but I haven't tried.

This one might be ok, need to check.

But this one is not - if anything we need to fix the 'interesting'
Windows code in MAPI to use it. I've got some work in the area, that I
really should finish on of these days.

Thanks
