MATLAB: Can Matlab communicate with a Microsoft Exchange Server

Question

The question really says it all. Instead of using sendmail, which uses SMTP, I'd like to connect with an Exchange Server directly for sending email and adding calendar events. Is this possible?

Answer 1

MATLAB has a .NET interface which allows loading .NET assemblies and calling methods from them:

You may try to leverage this with the .NET API for an Exchange Server:
