Hello!
Do i need an Exchange Server when i want to use the CDO components or
do i only need the CDO components shipped with Outlook?

I want to use CDO in my own application and simple Mail doent have that
what i want.

You need Outlook + the CDO component that ships with Outlook.

Only Outlook and the CDO components, no Exchange Server?
And without Exchange Server i can get these information from Outlook?:

- New incomming Mails (i mean my app get an callback that a new mail is
in the inbox)
- Contacts
- Calendar Entrys
- Jounal

If that works that will be great, because some of my customers doent
have Exchange, they use only Outlook 2000/2003 (not Express) for her
daily work.
 
CDO is agnostic about the information stores that Outlook exposes. It's all just data to CDO.

Note, though, that CDO triggers security prompts on contact data. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/sec.htm for your options.

If you want to monitor events, you must use the Outlook object model or Extended MAPI. CDO does not fire any events.
