How can I read an Email (outlook 2003) using SSIS package on SQLSERVER 2005

I need to access a specific E-Mail folder from an SSIS package created on a SQLServer 2005.
The server does not have Outlook installed (this is a company decision).

I need to read the emails and extract data to input into a SQL dB.  Inputing the data into a dB is no problem just the access to and reading of the emails.

You can read emails from Exchange Server into SQL Server via the scripts provided here:

Do Note that it is not recommended to use these scripts in Production Environment..

You mention Outlook 2003 - can you confirm what version of Exchange you are using? 2003,2007 or 2010.
And missed mentioning one more thing..

* SQL Server can send emails which can be read in Outlook but SQL Server can't receive or read emails from Outlook.
* Above approach mentioned in my link suggests a way to read emails directly from Exchange Server and not from Outlook.
