[2008] Read Mailboxes

Hello,

I am after some code that will help me read several mailboxes on a particular server on the network and bring me back the date of the last mail within each one.

Is this possible ?
Where would I start ?

Thank you.

You would start by giving us more information :) what type of server is it and what kind of access do you have to the mailboxes?

Apologies Chris I'll try to explain a bit more.

I don't know a grreat deal about the servers themselves, but what I can say is that the following code works in a current MS Access application we have.

Obviously I need to convert this to VB.NET.

Code:

For Each mailbox In Mailboxes
        lblMessage.Caption = "Checking " & mailbox & " mailbox, please wait..."
        Set myRecipient = myNamespace.CreateRecipient(mailbox)
        myRecipient.Resolve
        If myRecipient.Resolved Then
            Set Inbox = myNamespace.GetSharedDefaultFolder(myRecipient, olFolderInbox)
            Set ProcessedFolder = Inbox.folders.GetFirst
            Do Until InStr(1, ProcessedFolder.Name, "Processed") <> 0
                Set ProcessedFolder = Inbox.folders.GetNext
                If ProcessedFolder Is Nothing Then
                    MsgBox "Unable to open Processed folder for " & UCase(mailbox), vbCritical, "Daily Checks"
                    Exit Sub
                End If
            Loop
            Set item = ProcessedFolder.Items.GetFirst
        Else
            MsgBox "Unable to open " & UCase(mailbox) & " mailbox. Check manually.", vbExclamation, "Daily Checks"
        End If
       
        If InStr(1, LCase(mailbox), "zurich") <> 0 Then
            [Last ABC File Received] = Format(item.SentOn, "Short Date")
        ElseIf InStr(1, LCase(mailbox), "ABC") <> 0 Then
            [Last DEF File Received] = Format(item.SentOn, "Short Date")
        ElseIf InStr(1, LCase(mailbox), "DEF") <> 0 Then
            [Last GHI File Received] = Format(item.SentOn, "Short Date")
        ElseIf InStr(1, LCase(mailbox), "GHI") <> 0 Then
            [Last JKL File Received] = Format(item.SentOn, "Short Date")
        ElseIf InStr(1, LCase(mailbox), "JKL") <> 0 Then
            [Last MNO File Received] = Format(item.SentOn, "Short Date")
        ElseIf InStr(1, LCase(mailbox), "MNO") <> 0 Then
            [Last PQR File Received] = Format(item.SentOn, "Short Date")
        End If
    Next mailbox
