Cocoa Mac application using Microsoft Exchange Services 2007

Can anyone provide a suggestion on the best way to use Exchange Servic开发者_开发技巧es 2007 in a Mac application using Cocoa? I need to access Inbox mail messages and their headers to parse the information I need.

I have written an implementation in my .NET application, but of course .NET provides some nice libraries to handle all the complex types and such.

Thanks in advance.

Cocoa doesn't really have any decent SOAP libraries available that I'm aware of. You could either try to access Exchange via IMAP if it's enabled for your server (e.g. with MailCore) or embed another language with better SOAP support (e.g. Java, Python). Here's an example of using Java/JAXWS to talk to EWS.

Microsoft has an EWS Java API but it was apparently so poor-quality that they pulled it. However, there's a link to the download on that page if you want to try it anyway, and it's open source so you could potentially fix any bugs you ran into.

Doc, I came across this EWS OSX Widget in my search for the same thing. It would be good to know if this works for you.
