Retrieving and working with mail from Exchange

I've been hunting the web all morning with no avail....here is our problem

We have Exchange 5.5 with plans to use exchange 2003 by the end of the first
quarter in 2004.

We need to have a global email account that is used by external individuals
to email items to our consumer system. We want this to go thru our exchange
server. But we want to have a component, listener, etc. babysitting the
account looking for new messages. When new messages are found it will then
need to search the email looking for a particular case number. If found it
will then create an event (row in our event table) of our Consumer System.
It will then take the email (and attachments) and save them to our imaging
system. If no case number is found then we want to create a way (internal
to our application) for our support staff to review the email and process it
manually.

I'm looking for 3rd party, examples, hints, etc., etc. (VB.Net preferred,
but C#, VB6, COM, etc. is still ok) on how this may best be accomplished.
All I can find information on how to use dotnet to send email.

Thanks!!!!

Hello Ken,

Thanks for your post. As I understand, you want to create a sample which is
able to monitor "new mail" event, restrieve emails and perform other tasks
in Exchange Server. Please correct me if there is any misunderstanding. I
now share the following information with you:

As you know. Exchange Server SDK enables a number of programming
technologies to access configuration settings and date in Exchange Server.
For example, ADO, CDO, MAPI, WebDav, etc. As in this issue, I suggest that
you can use WebDav. Please refer to the following articles and samples:

WebDAV

Hope this helps.
