>>>Hi friends,
>>>
>>>I have an application that needs to know when a new e-mail message has arrived to a certain e-mail account and automatically download the attached files. I already know how to download attached files from an e-mail message, but I really need to download those attached files as soon as the e-mail message has arrived to the e-mail server. Can anybody help me on this?

>>>TIA

I don't know a particular place. Just ftp and see what you get. As I remember file count/last update time of folder were changing with each new arrival/download.
