Outlook 2007 Controls / Reading Emails

[rbxslvr]

I'm creating a windows application that I would like to use to automatically respond to emails based on their body's content (which I would process with my application to determine the necessary response). I know that there has to be a way to do this with the Office controls that I already have. Can someone point me in the right direction? All I want is something where I can check the properties (Sender, Body, Subject) of each inbox item in outlook... something like "outlookcontrol.item(0).body" that could display the body of the first email in the inbox. Can something like this be achieved through the Outlook COM Controls?

There are no Outlook COM control or otherwise in Outlook. There are Interfaces, Classes and Collections etc.

You have two choices, one use Outlook COM and automate Outlook and read emails etc. Two, use winsock and POP3 and read your emails directly from your service provider.
