Also search stackoverflow for webdav exchange for several other related questions and answers.

Answer 3

If this will run on a client machine, then you should try to program against the Outlook Object libraries. These are far easier than talking to Exchange 2003 itself.

If you need to run it without a client, or from a server, then your best option is to look into the Exchange 2003 WebDAV apis.

Answer 4

Check out the Redemption Library from Dmitry.
