For starters you can take code I posted previously: Re: How do I convert VBA script to Perl? - Using Win32::OLE and adapt it to your needs.

Thanks this one helped me. I am looking for more. But, this is a good starting point where I can get something done. - Shiva

Now I have got all the messages and I am trying to get the main parts of the message From: To: Subject: Body: I am able to get $msg->{Subject} and $msg->{Text}. how do I get the other 2, also I would need the date and time of message. Thanks again for your time. PS: I am using the WIN32::OLE

use warnings;
use strict;
use Win32::OLE;
    
my $outlook = new Win32::OLE 'Outlook.Application' ;
$outlook or die "Could not get OLE object for outlook";
my $mailitem        = $outlook->CreateItem(0);
$mailitem->{'Subject'}    = 'A test';
$mailitem->{'Body'}    = 'Omnes homines, qui sese praestari volunt, ..
+.';
$mailitem->{'To'}    = 'mailaddress';    
$mailitem->Send();
$mailitem->Quit;
$outlook->Quit;

Hi, I'm writing a perl script to access an Exchange Inbox. Did you managed to do it ? For instance, I'm only able to do this through an Outlook instance. But I would like to connect directly to the Exchange Server. I will be very pleased if you could advice me . Thanks.

Instead of using Win32::OLE directly you could use Mail::Outlook.

He most probably can't, because he is looking for an alternative to process messages in an Exchange mailbox, where IMAP might not be available.

MAPI (accessible via Win32::OLE) is meant exactly for this, while Mail::Oulook is only meant to "overcome the problem of sending mail messages, where Microsoft (R) Outlook (R) is the only mail application available."
