Hello,

I am trying to find a solution for the following scenario: A client sends my company an email each week containing an attachment containing information we need to store in our database. Currently, the information is entered manually, but I am working on an automative procedure to create a "mailbox listener" on an Exchange 2003 server.

I have found solutions online that would help me to fetch emails from Exchange 2003 but only if an Outlook 2003 client is on the same machine as the .NET procedure. My program will be on a server that does not have Outlook installed. I would simply like to be able to log into the server with "read-only" privileges, without having to use an Outlook client.

Does anyone know from either an administrative or development standpoint how I might be able to access the Exchange server for a specific account with read-only privileges? Thanks for your time.
