Server-side script to access Imap store

[klmnop]

I need to build a script which will be run on a server, and which will:

1) access an IMAP store/client mailbox
2) copy any .txt attachments from email messages in the Inbox in this mailbox, to a network location
3) move processed emails to a \Processed folder in the mailbox (Inbox\Processed).

Limitations: This needs to run on a server, on which neither Outlook not Office will be installed.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Without MAPI client software on the server I doubt you will be successful in your endeavor. You can script Outlook, but without such a client to log into the mailbox you have nothing to access the mailbox which is stored within the Exchange database.

I would investigate using a public folder to store the mail instead.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Mark
