[thelist] Talking to exchange

[Ken Schaefer]

Hi,

You wish to connect to Exchange? Or you wish to interogate a PST file? I'm
not sure how you do the latter...

Cheers
Ken

Cool, I'm already using CDO to send mail...didn't know that it also
provided an interface for received mail, but I'm sure I'll be able to
find it.

I don't suppose you'd also happen to know where I'd need to start
looking if I want to programmatically read emails that have already been
archived to a .pst file?
