Access messages, show or hide subfolders in your inbox, and access public folders by using IMAP4 protocol from any computer with an Internet connection
Use WebDAV to connect Outlook Express to Exchange
Access messages, subfolders in your inbox, and public folders by using HTTP/WebDAV protocol from any computer with an Internet connection. Provides DAV-compliant clients greater scalability and performance than other protocols
Guidelines for Automating the Deployment of Internet Explorer and Outlook Express
