Since this WebDAV interface is what the ActiveX webmail component in IE uses, and this is what Microsoft's own Exchange client for Mac OS X ("Entourage X") uses, it is not likely that it will go away soon. This WebDAV interface is what Evolution and Kontakt uses to communicate with Exchange servers, and it looks like it is possible to interface Gnus this way as well. Some links that aren't in the august discussion: "Access Your Exchange 2000 / 2003 Mailbox With WebDAV"; an example of making VBScript to access the mailbox using WebDAV: http://www.msexchange.org/articles/Access-Exchange-2000-2003-Mailbox-WebDAV.html "Eldav: Yet another WebDAV interface for Emacsen"; this mode uses an outside program called "nd" to do the actual WebDAV. The august discussion thread talks about using cadaver for this, so I guess that means this approach isn't irrelevant...? http://www.gohome.org/eldav/
