Accessing an Exchange Server without Outlook

Is there a method of accessing an Exchange server that does not have IMAP or POP3 enabled without Outlook?

It does not appear that Outlook Express supports Exchange (only IMAP and POP3).

Solution

  • The only way I can think of is if the Exchange server has Outlook Web Access (OWA) turned on. You can test this by trying the server name in your browser like so: http://server/exchange.

    If you mean programmatically then the recommended way is to use WebDAV (which is what OWA uses).

    @Jon I think the method you linked to uses IMAP.

    Edit: @Pat: SimpleMAPI is the protocol that allows applications such as Word etc to talk to your email client, not your email client to the server - ExtendedMAPI is needed for that, which Thunderbird doesn't support.
