It's MAPI you're after, not IMAP, if you want to talk to the Exchange
stores. In Exchange 2000, there are NO "folders"--although mailboxes are
divided into folders--make a MAPI "spy" profile and you'll see what I mean.
There is an information store made up of one or more databases (depends on
whether it is standard or enterprise--or whatever they call the version in
2k), and a load of info stored in Active directory. So you need to know how
to talk to AD with ADSI. I used to use Thomas Rizzo's Outlook programming
book. Try the Exchange MVPs' sites )I know a couple of them, so I can ask
for you if you like. Most of them are admins, not developers, but probaly
know where to look. Try MSDN and slipstick also. You'll need to read up on
Exchange architecture and AD first. Outlook uses VBA know, but older Outlook
programming books have the object model etc a la vbscript.
