First those RFCs, though, so that I can see what kind of functionality will be involved. Gnus will probably be just one way to get requests from mails, send replies etc. with some keybinding sugar for this in some nnml-derived group or something. | that IMAP appears not to be enough to access the calender and contact items First of all, for my purpose the Exchange server needs not be involved at all. That is, a system that lets me to keep the calendar data on Emacs-based software is enough --- I don't need to (or rather: I don't want to) access it from Exchange too. Of course, sharing calendar stuff with Exchange might be a cool addition for some users, but it's something that probably someone else needs to take a look at, though I don't think there's much to look at --- at least... | stored on the Exchange server. You can get the subjects, but not the date and | time of the appointment. Apparantly MAPI is needed to access these other ...I can get those (well, I don't know about contact items). Oh, I haven't tested and I don't really care about anything older than Exchange 2000 (I recall older Exchanges work in a different way and I think MAPI or some even less documented, hopeless thingamajig was indeed involved). Perhaps you think of some older Exchange? -- Hannu
