Since your components will run on a server, I'd personally recommend using
WebDAV, which is the same technique that Outlook Web Access uses to gain
access to Exchange.

no.

The interface to WSS is WebDAV.

poor documentation?

no.

I have a class library that can read e-mail using WebDAV.  I'm sure you
could use it to create your own custom adapter.  Send me e-mail if you are
interested.
