Although I would prefer a solution which does not require Microsoft Outlook to be installed locally, I think you are right in that it's probably the way to go. I located a Win32 laptop with ActiveState perl and was able to dump the contents of the root Inbox folder using the code samples from this node as suggested.

Some minor questions needs to be resolved (such as how to decend into the directory hierarchy of email folders?), but it basically works. Thanks.
