Outlook automation to receive mail

[alena]

Does anyone know if it is possible to use outlook automation to "check for new mail". The only applications I have seen step through the outlook menus programatically to do this, which is dangerous since the menus seem to change each version of outlook.

I am thinking there should be a "CheckMail" method that can be accessed, but haven't been able to find anthing.

You can use the Outlook object model via automation or use CDO.

I am trying to use the Outlook Automation Object Model but haven't been able to find the methods/objects I am looking for. Any pointers?
