Does Outlook.com support EWS?

Question

Does Outlook.com support EWS? If no, what are the different ways to access a users tasks and calendar using python?

So far I have done the following:

Used EWSWrapper and tried out using suds-ews with python. All these implementation fail when i try with an outlook.com account.

So here is what I want to know:

• If EWS is not available , what other ways can I do to retrieve task and calendar list .
• Is there a library in python that I can use which considers, earlier 2007 exchange servers, the newer once from 2010 to 2013 and does basic error handling.

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Yes it supports now

Microsoft migrated from the legacy infrastructure to latest Office 365 based infrastructure

Following code snippet in c# will send HelloWorld message via EWS from outlook.com

var service = new ExchangeService
{
    TraceEnabled = true,
    TraceFlags = TraceFlags.All,
    Credentials = new WebCredentials("[email protected]", "p@ssw0rd"),
    Url = new Uri("https://outlook.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx")
};

var email = new EmailMessage(service);

email.ToRecipients.Add("[email protected]");
email.Subject = "HelloWorld";
email.Body = new MessageBody("This is the first email I've sent by using the EWS Managed API.");
email.Send();
