Description

Our institution disables SMTP functionality on our e-mail accounts, forcing us to use their web client or some other native Exchange client (mobile or otherwise). We want our web apps to send out automated e-mails through our institutions exchange system as local e-mails are secure.

So, is there any plan to add E-mail/Inbox functionality to pyexchange? Also, how much effort do you estimate is required if I were to want to extend your code to do this?

Research direction

Start by reviewing pyexchange's existing Exchange wrapper entry points and how its current functionality is organized. The issue asks for e-mail and inbox support, but does not name files, tests, or a precise API scope; done would require an agreed design and working support for the selected Exchange operations.
