Sucking e-mail from Exchange Server vis HTTP?

[Grant Edwards]

I just found the http server page on Exchange server that
allows access to e-mails via a web browser.  What I'd really
like is to write a Python program that just sucks the mail out
of the inbox and delivers it locally.

I've never done any Python code that accesses an http server.
Are there any applications which would be good examples?
