If you can enforce a requirement for Exchange 2007 or later, the easiest way would be to use Exchange Web Services, which are based on SOAP messages. This I believe is how Apple implemented Exchange support in OSX. Reference - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb204119.aspx Example from Unix shell - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/exchangedev/archive/2009/02/05/quick-and-dirty-unix-shell-scripting-with-ews.aspx If you're familiar with Java, Microsoft has released the source code to the Java version of their EWS client API here (http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/ewsjavaapi/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=5501). You could consider using that as inspiration for whatever functionality you need in Python. If you have to support Exchange 2003, then you'll have to use WebDAV to interact with Exchange. There are plenty of references for this one the web. It is considered a legacy API though, and at some point in the future, will probably be removed. > My final move would be to look for opensource plugins for Evolution, > Thunderbird, etc for Exchange synchronization and see how they did > it... > > Thanks all, > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Django users" group. > To post to this group, send email to django-users@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > django-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/django-users?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
