Accessing email in an Exchange 5.5 mailbox via VBScript?
 

Hi All,

I've been asked to develop a VBScript / Windows Scripting Host script
to log onto a specific Exchange 5.5 mailbox, iterate through the
messages in the inbox, save and rename any attachments on encountered
messages to a particular LAN drive and move processed messages to a
subfolder underneath the inbox.

This script will be running on a WinXP SP2 machine, if that's
important.

Can anyone tell me if that's possible, and give me some advice /
pointers / code examples if so?

Many thanks in advance!

Much warmth,

Yes, it should be possible. If you're talking to an Exchange 5.5 server,
you'd want to use CDO1.21; see www.cdolive.com or _Professional CDO
Programming_ or equivalent books for more on that.

The OS doesn't matter too much, but you'll need Outlook installed on the
machine in question.
