So far this was the only way I've found - to have an unattended reader. I've played with MAPI and CDO, but they all require a lot of user intervention, because of the security stuff that was piled upon it. I needed something that would extract data from automated emails received by a specific user, stuff the extracted data into a dbf and then just exit. The thing was supposed to run once a day, unattended. We gave it up, though, for other reasons.

And you can't have remote access to the client's site? This is a conundrum, really.
