Access generic outlook email account...

I need a bit of help and guidance as this is a new area for me. I have searched on the web for quite sometime, but I can only find examples on how to link into the users outlook account on their machine.

What I want is my clients to create a gerneic email account e.g. [email protected] on their outlook exchange server. Then my application that will be run on users machine to access the inbox of the generic email account. I do not want to send email through this account just read the emails received.

My question is whether this is possible and if so if someone could provide example code or what I should be searching for in google.

Thanks for your help

Simon
