Hello Experts,<br />
<br />
When an email message arrives with an attachment (file type doesn't matter at this point), I would like to save that attachment to disk, and mark the message as 'read' in the mailbox. I will only be using a single mailbox for this project.<br />
<br />
In the past I have used licensed software to do this so I know it is possible, but I would now like to create my own solution for this. I have good working knowledge of .Net (vb.Net and C#.Net), but not where Office add-ins are concerned, so I need a bit of direction here.<br />
<br />
Can anyone tell me how to accomplish the above? With the licensed software it was necessary to keep an account logged in to Outlook at all times. I assume that if I stay with an Outlook Add-In this will also be the case. If it can be done with a service running on the exchange server that would be even better.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance,<br />

Outlook add-in (or Exchange) to handle attachments on incoming messages

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions is sometimes also considered an email client, but more commonly referred to as webmail.

Email Software
