If you do, your Exchange server administrator will be forced to kill you slowly, and even so, your fate will be better than you deserve. The EDB files are exclusively locked by Exchange anyway, so you'd have to stop the Information Store service to get to them, and people would probably start complaining then about not being able to use Outlook. If you want to access Exchange data, do it through the Exchange API. That's why it has an API.
