Excorporate provides Exchange integration for Emacs.
To create a connection to a web service:
M-x excorporate
Excorporate will prompt for an email address that it will use to
automatically discover settings. Then it will connect to two or
three separate hosts: the autodiscovery host, the web service host
or load balancer, and the actual server if there is a load
balancer. Therefore you may be prompted for your credentials two
or three times.
You should see a message indicating that the connection is ready
either in the minibuffer or failing that in the *Messages* buffer.
Finally, run M-x calendar, and press 'e' to show today's meetings.
Please try autodiscovery first and report issues not yet listed
below. When autodiscovery works it is very convenient; the goal is
to make it work for as many users as possible.
If autodiscovery fails, customize `excorporate-configuration' to
skip autodiscovery.
Autodiscovery will fail if:
- Excorporate is accessing the server through a proxy (Emacs
bug#10).
- The server is not configured to support autodiscovery.
- The email address is at a different domain than the server, e.g.,
user@domain1.com, autodiscover.domain2.com.
- Authentication is Kerberos/GSSAPI.
Excorporate does know about the special case where the mail address
is at a subdomain, e.g., user@sub.domain.com, and the server is at
the main domain, e.g., autodiscover.domain.com. Autodiscovery will
work in that case.

Alexandru Harsanyi provided help and
guidance on how to extend soap-client.el's WSDL and XSD handling,
enabling support for the full Exchange Web Services API.
Alex Luccisano tested early versions of
this library against a corporate installation of Exchange.
Jon Miller tested against Exchange 2013. He
also tracked down and reported a bad interaction with other
packages that require soap-client.
Nicolas Lamirault tested the
autodiscovery feature.
Trey Jackson confirmed autodiscovery worked
for him.
Joakim Verona tested autodiscovery in a
Kerberos/GSSAPI environment.
Wilfred Hughes tested on Exchange 2007 and
suggested documentation improvements.
Erik Hetzner tested on Office 365 and helped debug
Office 365 support.
Fabio Leimgruber tested NTLM
authentication against a challenging server configuration.
Stefan Monnier wrote a variant of
nadvice.el for GNU ELPA so that Excorporate could continue
supporting Emacs versions 24.1, 24.2 and 24.3.
Collin Day tested and helped debug accessing
Office 365 through an HTTPS proxy.
Sandro Romanzetti tested
excorporate-update-diary.
