Thanks -- although my requirements are simple sending and receiving of text emails, I am not sure if my admin will turn on pop access.
Ken, please send me the examples of OLE/Outlook. --Suresh ____Original_Message____ From: "Ken Cornetet" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Perl-Win32" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 13 Dec 2004 10:06:45 -0500 Subject: RE: perl and Microsoft Exchange e-mail Actually, using the outlook object via Win32::OLE is pretty easy (relatively speaking). Using OLE with MAPI on the other hand is a PITA. Suresh, can you describe your requirements a bit more fully? Paul is correct in that POP3 and SMTP are simpler to use, but they are limited to sending/receiving simple emails. If you need advance features (like signing/encryption), you should look at the Outlook object model. Oh, to use POP3, your Exchange admin will have to turn on POP3 either globally, or for the mailbox in question. I can send some examples of OLE/Outlook if you like. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Sobey Sent: Monday, December 13, 2004 4:17 AM To: Suresh Govindachar Cc: Perl-Win32 Subject: RE: perl and Microsoft Exchange e-mail You should be able to send and receive using smtp/pop3 as you are used to. Just make sure you allow relaying from your ip address if you're trying to email outside the Exchange Organisation... The alternative is to use Win32::OLE to drive Outlook, which is not as easy, and not worth it unless you have special requirements...

As context in regard to my experience with perl and email, I know how to use Net::SMTP and Net::POP3 to send and receive mail and to deal with the e-mails being stored on the pop-server http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1052 .
