Hi,

You would be better to use an auto-responder from your mail server for this task.

HTH.

Dear All

I donot want the 'auto responder...' I want to read th e subject and mail text too.

Please
help me

I don't see your reasoning behind this.
If you are going to be doing this as a service then why not just use the tools that are already as mrTed suggested?

Use VBA in Outlook or something similar ...

Please

Select from Project>Components the Microsoft MAPI Controls

Then do the following to connect a session to your email

With MAPISession1
.UserName = strUser
.Password = strPassword
.SignOn
MAPIMessages1.SessionID = MAPISession1.SessionID
End With

Now use the MAPIMessages to retrieve email like so and reply - as an example

Private Sub Command1_Click()

Text1.Text = ""

frmMDIMain.MAPIMessages1.Fetch
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & "Message Subject = " & frmMDIMain.MAPIMessages1.MsgSubject
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & vbCrLf & "MsgOrigDisplayName = " & frmMDIMain.MAPIMessages1.MsgOrigDisplayName
strReplyName = frmMDIMain.MAPIMessages1.MsgOrigDisplayName

End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()

frmMDIMain.MAPIMessages1.Reply

frmMDIMain.MAPIMessages1.MsgNoteText = "Thanks for your e-mail we will respond to you soon"
frmMDIMain.MAPIMessages1.RecipAddress = strReplyName

frmMDIMain.MAPIMessages1.ResolveName

frmMDIMain.MAPIMessages1.Send

End Sub

You can also use a number of 3rd party Email components to read mail programatically from both POP3 and IMAP servers. JMail from www.dimac.net is one. CDONTS and CDOSYS also can read mail.

Easymail components is the better choice for your code!
Please find it in the google with keyword "easymail" for detail.
