Hi all.

I have a requirement to write an app that will poll an Exchange (2003) mailbox, search for certain text, if found send an auto response. The application will be installed on the Exchange Server.

I've downloaded the Exchange SDK from Microsoft, with the samples, but there don't appear to be any working samples for VB at all, just a bunch of files that don't explain a great deal. The Help that's downloaded is just about as useful.

I'm fine with sending Email, done all that before, it's opening and reading the mail box I'm stuck with.

Can anyone help?
Cheers,
Tull.

(I know this is the VB Forum and that post is in C#, but it should give you an understanding of what you will need to do in VB.)

Might be a step in the right direction, where would I find the CDO resource?

Read this article: http://www.outlookcode.com/d/cdo.htm as it will explain CDO a little bit more. Also note from the copy that CDO is NOT offically supported in the framework although it can be done.

Also, I know that it is possible to connect to an exchange server via Sockets (TCP) and passing a username and password to the server.

Much like anything in programming, there is definately more then one way to achieve your desired end result, how you get there is up to you.
