reading outlook attachments

[PIII450]

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a class which will read outlook email messages. I
need to be able to scan outlook for "non-read" e-mails with a specific
subject and then save the attachments and mark the e-mail as "read". I
tried working with the am outlook application COM object but could
not get it to work.

If you have another way to do what I want, without human intervention,
I'm open for suggestions. I't goes without saying I want to be able to
do it form or with PHP.

TIA

Roger

Outlook is a client - your email is originally delivered, and stored on a
server (which could be a POP3 or IMAP server - they are most popular)
Outlook is the user agent that you use to retrieve and read your email so
the fact that you are using Outlook or any other piece of software as a
client does not relate to your project.

You need to determine your mail server type first - then either use the POP3
or IMAP functions that come with PHP, or use something like SquiralMail
(which I believe is PHP based) to read your email...

With COM objects named, he might be talking about Outlook running on
his server.

Something like processing them there seems to me more reasonable as
well.

Everything is hooked up to an centralized exchangeserver.

Everything is hooked up to an centralized exchangeserver.

Then access to mail should be possible with a plain old POP/IMAP
client (whether it's actually POP or IMAP, depends on how Exchange
Server is configured). There are plenty of POP and IMAP clients
for PHP; you should be able to find one that will be simple enough
to build up on.

Hi,

If you have POP3 server your mails can be actually stored in your mailbox physically.

you can you Microsoft COM object to manipulate Outlook email programatically.
