It might be worth noting that Outlook implements calendaring as just another class of the same IPM object that regular messages are. Meeting invitations are just special hidden messages. Free/Busy Information is just IPM objects written to a hidden Public Folder. The Exchange server itself has very little awareness of the calendaring. So if they've got the Exchange wire protocol working, they might not need to worry about it; it's mostly done in Outlook. (Of course, there are probably details that matter, but I figured I'd toss this out there). > But there are still a lot of unanswered questions, like, what if I'm in a > non-windows environment and want to provide an Exchange-like service ? Given the reported Active Directory requirement, I'd say you're in trouble. ;-) -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
