I am trying to find some references on how to use VBNET2005 to connect
to an EXCHANGE2003 server to be able to produce a program which
reports the number of unread emails in the INBOX for a particular user
(emails)

Please can someone throw me a lifeline or two.

Many thanks in advance for any feedback.

Hello,

MAPI is not a good idea if you are using any .NET language. It's not
supported by Microsoft.

You can use WebDAV, CDO (via Interop) and ExOleDB (via interop only on the
Exchange Server).

WebDav is probably the easiest way. Take a look at MSDN
(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa486282.aspx and
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa123571.aspx).

You may also want to take a look at my website (http://www.infinitec.de). I
have a .NET Library encapsulating the webdav stuff.

Best regards,
Henning Krause
