Hi Roman, A better solution would be to write a variant of movemail.exe that uses MAPI to get mail directly from the Exchange server. When I first started at my current job last summer, I thought I would have to do this, but then found out the POP3 service was actually installed and it was a DNS problem stopping me from seeing it. So I never got as far as writing this program, although a month before that there was some discussion about it. The mail is archived here: http://www.egroups.com/messagesearch/ntemacs-users?query=mapi But if you are willing to work on it (necessity and all that), then I can offer some help. Even though I have POP access to Exchange, I would actually prefer to have direct MAPI access, because the POP service seems to take it upon itself to reformat messages, wrapping long lines and omitting some "inline" attachments, and generally doing things that irritate me. We could also provide the sending part of the MAPI solution, and make the whole thing part of Emacs proper, if you are willing to assign copyright to the FSF (and get a disclaimer from your employer if relevant).
