copy email to text file

[MLNorton]

I know you can save an email as a text file. I want to be able to review the email inbox in Delphi and save a selected email as a text file into a selected folder.
How can I do this?

Well the first question would be what part of this you are having trouble with? getting the e-mail or saving the text file?

It is not possible for anyone to acknowledge truth when their salary depends on them not doing it.

I receive formatted e-mails that I now save to a text file, then I read the text file with a Delphi program and place the data into an Access data file. I would like to eliminate the manual process of saving the e-mail to a text file and have that done by the program.

You can automate MAPI and CDO etc. There are examples out there. However:

One way I can think of would be EasyMAPI:

It would allow you to open up the mailbox without the user needing to open their mail client. It can also connect the MS Exchange and pull the emails from there. I use this in a project where website orders are emailed to my client and the contents of the order are in the body of the email.

Add-In-Express would let you create a COM add-in for Outlook that could do some of that. But it would require Outlook and Outlook would have to be started.
