Can someone point me in the right direction?

I need to programmatically receive e-mails, and save the attachment, using
VB2005.

Are you accessing Outlook or POP3 or IMAP?

You need to access a mail server and download the messages.

You can use a 3rd party component like nSoftware's IPWorks... or Indy
Sockets.

I'm trying to build a stand alone application, and would rather not put
on outlook. I was looking for a way to do it within VB2005. I guess I kind
of assumed MS had some kind of functionality I hadn't been able to find.

I'm not telling you to install outlook. I'm asking where is your mail
stored?

Exchange Server, POP3, or IMAP? :-)

There is no built in functionality. You need to write it from scratch
(hard) or use a 3rd party component.

I see, my apologies, I have a Pop3 account.
