The choice of the server is not yours, if you are working for a company.

Thomas has started with Calendar integration. AFAIK, you need EWS in order to access it on an Exchange server. And even IMAP access is not always possible. IMAP access information for that server was hidden in my company, and it took me a while to find it out. Other people might fail to get IMAP access for an Exchange server, depending on a company's policy. > Stefan Best regards, Michael.
