Can anyone recommend a component or standalone piece of software that will import e-mails from a POP account directly into an SQL server table (or ODBC whatever). I have tried the G-Lock tools seems ok but performance is not great, any others?

Many thanks

You could always use Outlook to d/l the messages to the local mailbox, then use VBA to post them to the database.

But I fear that the performance won't be much better than your 3rd party app.

There are a number of .NET POP client samples out there on the web. These could easily be adapted to your purposes.

Thanks For the info. I currently do this using an old .vbs script that is scheduled to run daily. Its slow, crashes a lot and generally long in the tooth! I import around 500 emails per day so not huge numbers, ill give the software another go, anything to save me having to write code can only be good!

Cheers
