MS Exchange Mail

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I want to read an e-mail off a Microsoft Exchange Server from a WinNT Machine running ActivePerl. Is there any modules that can access an Exchange mail server or will a standard mail module work? I searched CPAN for an Exchange module with no success.

I use Net::SMTP to access an Exchange Server at work from an NT box. It works well.	[reply]

I agree, Net::SMTP is great. I've had much more trouble with CDO and CDONTS with NT. I've had no trouble yet with Net::SMTP.	[reply]

Cool! Thanx guys, this makes things a lot clearer. I'll currently learning perl and the syntax can get a little eyeball twisting at times. Now that I look at it, it seems obvious that it's a hash of hashs... what was I thinking! :-) Once more, thanks.	[reply]

From the ActivateState docs: Is there a way to access MAPI from my Perl script? Use Win32::OLE.	[reply]
