Retrieve email and attachments from Exchange Server

There is this, but it requires user interaction, specifically with a powershelgl authentication dialog. It also has some other pre-requisites that would become insurmountable obstacles if you did not have administrative access to the Exchange server or the workstation executing the powershell.
