C # / Exchange EMail Client

Question

I need to create a very simple C # Windows service to listen and process email on special topics. I already have code that handles these emails well. For ease of development, I just packed the code in the "Outlook Addin" on my own machine, working under my own email account. It works great.

Now that it works, I need to move it to the server. For this purpose, I have a special email account setup on the Exchange server. I really do not want Outlook to work on the server. Is there any other way to log in to this email account and listen to email from my windows service without using an Outlook client?

Thank!

Answer 1

It looks like your code is closely related to Outlook, so you may need to change your approach to the server. Last year, I ran into the same problem and considered the following options:

• CDO ( not supported by Microsoft with .NET due to some weirdness when starting in the process)
• WebDAV for Exchange 2003
• Web Services for Exchange 2007 (great example in the link)

You also need to ask yourself if you really need ? - , , / . . , .
