    Re: email

    You can obviously send emails through the System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient. However I've never tried getting emails from an existing email account. After doing a google search I found a post on the MSDN forums that has a ton of links, although it was written in '08 it may still be relivant to what you need. That thread is here. The post is by Martin Xie that you're looking for. I think that the problem you'll run into is getting the email. You'll find alot of documentation on the SmtpClient, so that shouldn't be any problem at all.
