Is it possible to _list_ Exchange folders, etc. remotely using CDO   

From my C# application I have to access and modify different Exchange objects 
(files in public folders, user credentials, etc.) remotely from corporate 
local network. After reading MSDN articles, I have decided to try CDOSYS.dll 
(Microsoft CDO for Windows 2000) for this purpose. For some operations (like 
sending e-mail, receiving user credentials for a given e-mail address) it 
seems to be the best way. However, when I tried to do any ADO-related 
operations, I was unable to find a way to get anything from Exchange server. 
There are many articles and examples which deal with ADO/Exchange operations, 
but all of them mean usage of "ExOLEDB.DataSource". And CDOEX functions 
unfortunately do not work remotely. (( 

Is there any solution for my problem? or I definitely have to use WebDAV or 
MAPI? Thanks in advance.

For remote access WebDAV is the best solution. Question is what your requirements are.
Do you want to only list folders or ...?

If you need WebDAV API for Exchange server,
use our component WebDAV .NET for Exchange.
