Read mail from mail server

Question

Hi all... I am creating a web application .. Through the application I will send mails to my clients(From e-mail address:[email protected])... If any client reply for my mail(To e-mail address:[email protected]) I want to read that details from [email protected] and insert into sql server database..

Please share your ideas to fix my problem...

Answer 1

it depends on your scenario.. do you want to fetch the emails when pushing a button on a web page? or you want them to be automatically read and inserted in the sql db when they arrive in the mail?

at this link text you can find different solutions to fetch/send emails using C# from an email address (first scenario).

the second scenario would need some modifications to the email server to forward the email contents automatically to your application.
