SharePoint 2003 and Exchange 2003 Integration

There are 3 possible ways to integrate SharePoint 2003 and Exchange Server 2003:
  1. Using the Exchange Web Parts
  2. Displaying Exchange Data in a Page Viewer Web Part
  3. Creating an E-Mail-Enabled Document Library
Using the Exchange Web Parts:
SharePoint 2003 provides 4 web parts that can display Exchange mailbox data. These web parts are:
  • My Calendar
  • My Inbox
  • My Mail Folder
  • My Tasks
Display Exchange Data in a Page Viewer Web Part:
You can use Page Viewer web part to display content in Exchange Server 2003 public folder. Configure the URL in page viewer web part to point to:

http://exchangeservername/public/company%20meetings/?cmd=contents&view=monthly

Possible view parameter can be daily, weekly and monthly. It is case sensitive.

Creating an E-Mail-Enabled Document Library
SharePoint 2003 document library can be linked to Exchange public folder, so any files attached to the message sent to public folder will be copied to linked document library. Exchange will also populate some other columns from e-mail message:
  • From address
  • E-mail subject
In order to set up e-mail enabled document library, you need to configure on both SharePoint server virtual server level and Exchange public folder.
