ML,
In addition to the other comments:

Here is a good place to start on articles about using Outlook & .NET
(including Exchange Server).

For a discussion on selecting development technologies for Exchange Server,
start here:

Is WebDav enabled by default on all Exchange 200/2003 servers or is it
something separate that would need to be setup on the server?

My sources tell me that yes! WebDAV is on by default on Exchange 2000 and
2003. It doesn't exist (and thus cannot be turned on) for Exchange 5.5
servers.

Hope this helps

I am wanting to create a web application which will use Microsoft Exchange Server. We currently use Exchange 2000 but if i needed it we would upgrade to 2003. Is 2003 going to provide easyer programming with C# (and DotNet in general) than 2000? If so i will wait a bit longer. thanks for any insights. Arran
