Hi Daniel,

sorry for the late reply, I was hoping that someone involved in the Exchange

I don't think there is active development.

I think people have tried several approaches, not sure if SOAP was already one 
of them and if code exists for that already.

I've looked for a couple of previous threads on that topic, maybe there is 
something helpful for you in there:

Might have overlooked some though.

Exchange support seems to be an elusive thing but of course it would be great 
to have.
