Exchange Server and Email

[scorpion53061]

I talked my boss into dumping groupwise about a year ago in favor of
Outlook and Exchange.

Groupwise had a feature that connected to the server even if the client
was not open and would "notify" the user through a pop up that they had
new mail.

I need to find a way to duplicate that functionality in vb.net for
Outlook and Exchange. I am using 2003.

If anyone has ideas please let me know.

Do you really want to have Outlook in memory even when you're
not using it? I don't. Ugh.

Search the newsgroups for IMAP or POP .net
components (I recommend IPWorks (www.nsoftware.com) but would encourage you to
try out several to see which fits your needs the best). Then you can easily
develop your own application to sit in the system tray, periodically check the
server for new messages, and notify you of them. This would be very
lightweight.

I have a sample app that does just this (for IMAP, but can be
easily converted to POP) using IPWorks .Net Edition. Send me an email if you
like and I'll be happy to send it to you.
