connect to inbox on exchange server

[Brad]

Hi All,

I need to create a tool that will poll 1 to 5 exchange mailboxes and
save any attachments of new messages to a folder.

The tool will need to run on windows server 2003 and 2008, Outlook will not
be installed on the server where this tool is going to run.

It needs to be able to connect to exchange 2003 and 2007 - pop3 and imap
will probably be unavailable.

What's the best way to acheive this? Webdav looked good but not recommended
for exchange 2007

Mapi looks good - but does it require outlook to be installed? are there any
good mapi libraries?

any other options?
