There are no supported APIs to access the Exchange databases at the "brick" level. I've included the article link below that helps explain this:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;904845

I know that one section of the article indicates that you"might" be able to access the store in a read-only mode but there are some major differences in the different implementations of the ESE engine that can get you into some real problems.

Although this is a documented API and is very similar to ESE used with Exchange, it is not designed for use with Exchange and has limitations/differences that can result in problems with the Exchange store. I also suspect that the ESE functionality is going to be newer than the ESENT functionality since ESE/Exchange is continuing to be updated. I would not be surprised if any ESENT based apps that you get to work, fail with future releases since we have no commitment to ensure that ESENT works with Exchange.

I try to develop some Exchange utility using ESE.DLL . I use ESE.DLL
exported functions reference in MSDN:
                                msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/ese/ese/extensible_storage_engine_reference.asp">http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/ese/ese/extensible_storage_engine_reference.asp
. But there is an undocumented function in ESE.DLL named JetDBUtilities
. It seems that the most of ESEUTIL functionality is implemented
through this undocumented function. Could anybody advise me where I can
find some info about it?
Thanks in advance.
