Hi kneo. I know i'm avoiding your specific question [but i trust others more knowledgeable than me might be able to help on that]. I wanted to ask though if an acceptable workaround for you could possibly be either of these:
1. Rather than Crossover [which is built atop Wine, i think], could you simply try PlayOnLinux [which definitely is built atop Wine]? My own experience with PoL is decidedly chequered, with it being pathetic for Outlook 2010 [yes it ran, but would crash frequently, almost always causing data loss, & occasionally corrupting my PST; in between crashes it seemed kinda sorta ok, but several key OL functions didn't work]. Conversely, whilst it's been very tricky to get right, & i must use it in a very specific way otherwise plasmashell goes nuts, i am able finally to run MyPhoneExplorer in PoL in Maui.
2. Do you happen to have a licensed copy of any MS OS compatible with your target MS pgm? If so, is it viable for you to run your pgm in said MS OS in a VirtualBox or VMWare virtual machine? After i migrated from the MS narrowverse to the Linux multiverse a few years ago, until only a month or two ago i still had to fire up one of my Windows VMs [shudder] every day for Outlook [til i abandoned it earlier this year for a full Linux PIM solution], & til very recently also for MPE [til i sussed it out in PoL]. Whilst one might feel "dirty" for still having to touch Windows in Linux (i did], it was nonetheless a viable workaround [that said, i was so pleased once my migration was complete so i no longer need Windows VMs for anything].
I realise you've probably already thought of both those ideas, & ruled them out... but just in case not i thought i'd mention them.
