How to read and move items (without imap)?

I have a (dotnet) application that uses Outlook (+Redemption) to read
mail, process message and then (depending on the outcome) move the
message to a specifiek Exchange folder. It works, but I want to be
able to run without the Outlook client. Looked at a few 3'rd party
products. They support pop3, imap4 and others but not MAPI.The
Exchange administators in my company won't support Imap4. Pop3 is too
limited I think because I can read and
delete messages but cannot move messages to specific other folders.
Looked at the new Web Services that's advized by Microsoft but thats
available only when running Exchange 2007 and looks quite complex
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124516.aspx) for the
simple things I want to do.
There must be an easier way! Who knows of a component that is able of
reading and moving messages without imap?

Is there an easy way to verify if webdav via the Exchange server is
enabled or not?

But the original poster's using .Net, so using ExMAPI/CDO1.21 is not
supported:

For more detail, here's something from an MS support guy:

http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.win32.programmer.messaging
/msg/20149ae3de2f4920?hl=en&

"It's the sort of thing that'll mostly work. It'll work while you're
writing it. Then it'll work while you're testing it. It'll work while your
customer is evaluating it. Then as soon as the customer deploys it - BAM!
That's when it'll decide to start having problems. And Microsoft ain't
gonna help you with it, since we told you not to do it in the first place.

If you use Exchange 2000/2003 solution for you is WebDAV protocol too.

-------------------------------
If you need WebDAV API for Exchange server,
use our component WebDAV .NET for Exchange.
