Email monitor

Is there a way I can monitor an Exchange email account via .NET? I want to
write a Windows Service that monitors an email account for a specific
message with an attachment sent into the office and then perform some data
updates to the file once it comes in.

Any pointers on this? I've been going through the documentation but I'm not
finding anything that I think may help.

Do you want to monitor the actual mailbox, or do you want to monitor
an instance of Outlook for a received message.

If you want to monitor Exchange directly, I would suggest using a POP3
component to actually log in and check for the message. There are
many available, most of them free and can handle attachments. You
could use the Exchange "API" to check the mailbox, but why reinvent
the wheel.

It may be easier monitoring the Outlook instance on the server as I am
following that route with a custom stored procedure that utilizes
xp_readmail via SQL Server. I want to get this process out of the DTS world
as soon as possible.
