Read email using asp.net???

I am working on this project to re-create this older application originally written in asp 3-4 years ago. One of the asp pages goes and opens an email inbox and parses an email for pertinent information.

On session start it creates a MAPI session and when the page is called it uses a bunch of javascript to get each email and parse the information from each.

Has anyone ever done anything like this before and would have some advice or some code snippets to help me out.

Thanks again.
