ASP incoming mail

[mark100000]

Im pretty sure there isn't a way to notice incoming mail with ASP, but im more the likely wrong.I have a task going on at work where i have too write something or even buy something that will handle incoming emails to a certain domain, for arguments sake i will say example@help.com.What i need to do i activate a script when an email appears in this domain which will read a csv attached to the email and append a database as necessary.Is there anyway this can be done using asp. Or some sort of Microsoft compatible component.Kind RegardsMark Hilton

Depending on the type of mail server, you should be able to make a connection and check if there are messages. You'll probably need to use a third-party ASP component that you may have to pay for. Here is an example of using POP3:http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/092201-1.shtmlAnd here is some help with IMAP:http://www.example-code.com/asp/imap.aspYou can do it all for free using PHP, here is the reference for IMAP and POP3 functions:http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.imap.phpEither way you would probably have to install something on the server, whether it is an ASP component or the PHP software.
