How to Use The Microsoft Exchange Email API Via EWS
Blog post from Nylas
Microsoft's Exchange Web Services (EWS) provides an API for accessing and managing Exchange mailboxes, enabling developers to parse email data, create drafts, send emails, and manage attachments and folders. It offers a SOAP implementation and C# client library for full access to user accounts in Exchange Online and Exchange Server. The Nylas Communications Platform simplifies integration with the Exchange email API by offering a RESTful approach, reducing complexity and development time significantly compared to direct integration. Nylas enables easy authentication and expands functionality to include additional email providers without extra work, offering features like email threading, open and click tracking, and more reliable inbox notifications through webhooks. It handles file attachments more efficiently via a JSON-based API, supporting seamless integration with various email, calendar, and contacts providers.
