Hello Everyone,
I found a great utility that works with only a few lines of code if you want
an asp application to access your IMail server and check for new mail. This
Set of Objects can be installed on the web server. It's sweet.

Thanks Chris, I'll give this a shot. This is exactly what I'm looking for.
Would you happen to know where I can get a socket control that can do this.
My brains a little fried right now and I'm not too sure where I can find
this control.
Thanks,

A couple of quick ways to do this is to use the IMAP4 protocol and retrieve
the RECENT message count (number of messages that have arrived in the
account since last login). This can be accomplished easily by finding a
socket control for asp and using either of the following commands (client
commands denoted with "C:" and server responses denoted with "S:":
C: 100 LOGIN username password
S: 100 OK LOGIN completed
C: 200 STATUS inbox (RECENT MESSAGES)
S: * STATUS inbox (RECENT 0 MESSAGES 46)
C: 999 LOGOUT
Or to provide a more detailed look at the current state of the mailbox, you
can use the following:
C: 100 LOGIN username password
S: 100 OK LOGIN completed
C: 200 examine inbox
S: * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft)
* 46 EXISTS
* 0 RECENT
* OK [UNSEEN 11] 5 Messages unseen
* OK [PERMANENTFLAGS ()]
* OK [UIDVALIDITY 2340432167] UIDs valid
300 OK [READ-ONLY] EXAMINE completed
C: 999 LOGOUT
Either one will suit your needs and both are quite fast even on large
mailboxes. Of course, you will need to parse out the relevant information
yourself, but that in itself is a painless process.
Hope that helps,
Chris
