Recieve e-Mails via gmail

[marlan]

Hi All you experts!

My application inputs data from an Excel file, that my user usualy receives via a gmail account. I woul like to add a fiecher that:
1. opens unread gmail mails.
2. downloads attached files to a specific directory.

Could someone please give me a lead on this?

Thanks in advance!

If you have Outlook then set up Outlook to feed on the Gmail account - google how to. Then, using the Outlook Object model (google it, and also some examples), you can basically do whatever you want with the emails.

If you don't have Outlook then I do not know how to do it.

Hi spikepl, and thanks for your reply,
If Outlook is used by the client, can I set up Outlook to feed on the Gmail account, by code, and when done restore to the useers settings?
BTW, I fine using Office objects in wide spread to be quite "heavy", and like to avoid it if possiple. What do you think?
