                                            | 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.Tim |

                                          | 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 |
