in thread Exchange Server and IMAP

Hi

IMAP for Exchange 5.5 and 2000 has to be enabled for it to work. As this produces extra overhead (performance, maintenance, security and administrative) for the Exchange server, it generally is undesirable. The only proper way (according Microsoft) to interface with the Exchange server from a script or application is to use CDO.

I've written enough Exchange apps in VB6, VB.NET and vbscript to know that Perl is, unfortunately, ill suited for any real Exchange development. Atleast until someone writes a set of modules that is able to interface with Exchange with CDO on more than superficial terms.
