As you already know, Win7 Outlook can connect to ExchangeServer. http://www.washington.edu/itconnect/wares/uwexchange/outlook2010.html

I want to develop server app in C#, to which Outlook will be able to connect too. All in order to sync my server data (contacts, calendar, tasks, etc.) with Outlook.

What I know is that ExchangeServer use EWS for client communication. Can I develop web service based on EWS Managed API to communicate/sync with Outlook ?

If cannot, what are the other options(managed or unmanaged code) ?

I think that you can:

a) create a webservice that calls Exchange managed API http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/exchange/dd633710(v=exchg.80).aspx
b) Consume the exchange webservices http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/exchange/dd633709(v=exchg.80).aspx

But I have never done it myself so... Good luck!

Of course you can.

But:
1) I suspect that it will be huge task.
2) I suspect that you will need to pay MS to do it (*).

*) I believe that smartphone producers pay MS to allow them to connect
to Exchange. And it seems logical that the need for licensing of the
protocol is independent of whether it is client or server you are
implementing.

I read OP question as if he wants to implement his own server and have
standard Outlook connect to it. "Emulate Exchange Server".

That would mean reimplementing the API.
