Interface with public folders

[Andrew]

Hello,

Does anyone know what is necessary in order for a developer to interface an
outside application with exchange 2003? I'm not a programmer myself so I'm
not too familiar with this.. We want our developer to be able to query the
contents (specific fields) of a public folder contact list.

Thanks

-Andrew

"Using MAPI" is the IT Pro answer (looking at the newsgroups you addressed).
For a more in-depth answer, you'll have to ask in the Exchange/Outlook
developer newsgroup. It would be good to first determine for yourself if
you'll need to be writing code for Exchange (server-side) or for Outlook
(client-side).

You might try WebDAV. That way, you only need http ports (80, or 443 for
https) open to whichever location the application is running at.

Here's the first example that I could find:
