It depends a lot on which APIs you're using. You could certainly change
it into a normal executable that (say) runs, waits a day, runs, waits a
day, etc, you'd just have to wrap whatever code you have up as an
executable rather than whatever it is now. I don't know what the
'launch.dll' you're referring to does; that's why it would depend on the
API you're using.

If you're using the Outlook object model, then you can have it running
on a PC without Outlook started, it just needs Outlook installed on that
PC. That would still be running on each user's PC, though. If you wanted
something that ran on a single PC and talked to all the mailboxes, that
would be possible, you'd just have to write code to loop over the
mailboxes.

There's no need to run this on the server to do this sort of thing. As
long as it's running as a user with enough access to get at all the
mailboxes, you can do it from anywhere. Be careful, too -- you should
never install Outlook on your Exchange server, very bad things can
happen. See
