#92 Migrate away from Java

[Andre]

The Java requirement is becoming more of a hindrance than anything else. Especially given that the majority or our customers are severely restricting the deployment of Java on machines due to security concerns.

[Andre]

Perhaps base functionality can be created first, onto which the rest of the feature set could be migrated at later stages

I second this request, I wish this was coded in C or C++ (please don't look at Python).

Not only because of the security concerns, but also because of the CPU and memory hog that Java represents.

I can't afford to waste so much memory on this, but I have no alternative.

[Mauro Cicognini]

To be honest, I don't see this ever happening...

[Andre]

I would be willing to take a stab at this if someone could provide me with understandable request-response formats for EWS. The idea being that perhaps one could start with implementing an the interface to EWS first and then start attaching IMAP. SMTP, etc. interfaces to this.

[Mickael Guessant]

Well, you should probably experiment with EWSEditor first.
