Normally Federation Services Discovery is used to discover the metadata models of the underlying repository. In the case of Microsoft Exchange, the Exchange Web Services (EWS) API provides us with the models as things such as Email Message and Calendar Event are static models depending on which version of the EWS you are using.
It is still necessary to run Discovery in order to do Job mappings. You would only need to run Exchange Discovery Once and then use that Discovery for any Exchange Jobs. Using the Exchange Discovery, you can map Email Message fields to the output fields.
