Can an SMTP e-mail account be polled?

Hi

Can somebody please please please help me

I need to be able to poll the contents of an SMTP e-mail account
The idea being, process an e-mail automatically and do something any
attached files

I have dicovered how to send an e-mail using System.Web.Mail, but can see
away to received/proccess e-mail in an inbox

I have an e-mail account setup in exchange + the username and password

It is my second day using vb.net and I am stuck this one

Thanks in advance

I've only ever seen SMTP used for /sending/ emails. If you want to
read stuff back again, you'd probably be better off reading up on the
POP3 protocol.
