Process Already Received Emails

Hi,
I receive status emails from a service automatically. I want to open the mesages and read the text and extract some parts. Currently, I have a rule set up in my local email account to transfer these messages to a specific folder. I want to open each message and read its contents and do a pattern match etc.
How do I go about looping through each message in this folder?

Thanks for any pointers you may have.

Well, im not entirely sure what you mean but i think i know.. Try this as a starting point.

Code:

---

       
Dim Reader As New StreamReader("C:/email.txt")
        Dim Line As String = Reader.ReadLine()
        Do Until Reader.EndOfStream = True

            If Line.Contains("some word") AndAlso Not Me.TextBox1.Text.Contains(Line) Then
                Me.TextBox1.AppendText(Line + vbNewLine)
                'TextBox1.AppendText(Line) = TextBox1.Text + Line & Environment.NewLine
                TextBox1.SelectionLength = TextBox1.Text.Length
                TextBox1.ScrollToCaret()
            End If
            Line = Reader.ReadLine
        Loop
        Reader.Close()

Hi scrapdizle,
Thanks for the reply. It's actually the process of opening the mail message is where my problem lies: I can do the processing of the text using Regex without any problem.
Given a mailbox, username and password, specific folder, how do I open up each mail message in that folder?
