Use access to receive email

[HardWorker]

I currently use access to send emails directly via SMTP without using Outlook or any other email client.

Does anyone know of a way to receive emails the same way?
BTW, I'm using MSAccess 2003 and my email is hosted by gmail.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

G'd evening,
Access has no pop/imap libraries, but ou have several choices:
1. Use Winsock (lot of vb6 samples)
2. Use a third party library (Chilkat, componentOne, etc)
3. Automate Outlook (the easier, lots of examples here)
4. Build your own library in another environment.

G'd luck
