Before I start this discussion let me say that there are some serious
privacy concerns here. If the Intranet can access the data, then it really
isn't secure.
One question I have is: Does your company use Exchange as the mail server
with Outlook? If so, then yes you can. Exchange uses Active Directories
which are an extention of LDAP. You can use CFLDAP to get almost anything
off the Exchange server. I'm not up on the specifics anymore, I had to drop
that project over a year ago and have since changed jobs.
Also, this will only access data on the Exchange Server. If the user has
calendar itmems in a Peersonal Folder, then they are not easily accessible
to Cold Fusion. VBScript or JScript in the page itself may be able to, but
I have never investigated this.

Subject: Getting Outlook information
My company uses Microsoft Outlook as the mail client.
I am wondering if I can grab information from outlook and put it on my
customized intranet home page.
For instance, can I put a link in my coldfusion page that calls the user's
Outlook calendar and shows it on the page? What about the number of new
messages, etc? Basically I want to grab the features of the "Outlook Today"
tools in outlook.
