I recently had a project where I needed a program to deal with emails automatically. We have an account which emails are sent to, this program needs to save the text of the email and any attachment in a directory ready for another program to process.

I decided to go with c# with the idea that this would provide more options and would be easier to use.

I managed to create a automatic email program with the help of this program from Code Project. I used the classes with attached within to gather the email, save the text and attachment. I had to modify a few things to work for me, and the attachment didn't seem to save until I forced it to do a binary save.

Hope this helps someone.
