You can connect via COM to Exchange using the CDO library. There's lots
of
information about CDO on MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/). There's also
a
good book covering CDO from ASP, called "ADSI CDO ASP", from Wrox Press.
CDO
is the interface that the Outlook Web Access application uses, I'm sure.
Unfortunately, I don't know how easy this'll be from CF, since CF does
such
a bad job with COM in general and with MS-specific interfaces like CDO
and
ADSI in particular. I found it extremely difficult to work with ADSI
from
CF, compared with ASP. Also, if you're using CF 5, you can use the
CFIMPERSONATE tag to wrap your CDO calls so that you can impersonate a
specific Exchange user, but there's no equivalent in CF MX, which is
kind of
a bummer. Note that CFIMPERSONATE requires that you run the CF server as
SYSTEM.

While I agree that this would be a good idea if they're not already on
the
same network, this won't solve the programmatic problem of how to get CF
to
talk to Exchange.
