| Khalid,SQL Mail will allow you to send/receive email using xp_readmail and return the mail data into some variables in your stored procedure. It requires that a MAPI client is installed (Windows Messaging, Outlook...), which is undesirable for some DBAs. (I'd like to avoid installing it!)Otherwise, you could write a J/VB script using a third-party POP3 client that reads messages that you want and returns some data that you can get to from the Return value of xp_cmdshell.Sending mail using CDO/CDONTS is much less of a hassle than trying to read it with MAPI! |
