Check for new messages and save attachments

[buddyel]

I am trying to figure out the best way to check for new email messages on a pre-determined interval and if save the attachments to a particular location depending on sending address. I am not sure of the best way to handle this. I am using VB.NET 2005 and have VSTO as well.

I would like this to run even if the machine isnt logged in so I am assuming a Windows Service is required but I am not too concerned with that aspect at this time, just would be nice to implement from the beginning. If anyone can point me in the write direction, I am sure I can accomplish the code aspect.

Thanks in advance

A windows service would be your best bet for running the app while it the machine is logged out. What type of email server are you running? There are some SNTP objects in the framework, they should allow you to retrieve emails and attachments.

Our corporate mail server is Exchange 5.5. How would you handle this incorporating the SMTP objects?
