Hi guys,

I need to create an application (backgroundapplication on Windows) for an automatic eMail administration for my private sports club.

What it should be able to do:
The application should run in the background on Windows, if I get a new eMail (e.g. on gmail) the application should copy the eMailadress of the sender and the subject of the eMail and save those information in a txt-File(create a new file or attend to an existing one).

Q1: Does anyone know an existing project which is able to do?
Q2: Does anyone have an idea for realization?

Thanks for helping & best regards

Why? There are plenty of email applications already that will do this for you. Try Thunderbird for one, it can manage multiple email accounts and control where messages are saved.

You need a windows service that periodically checks your email account using a pop3 component (or imap which is more advanced). Google for how to write a scheduling windows service and google for asp.net pop3 components and you'll find examples of how to do both. Just put them together, have your service periodically check for new messages, read the data and create the files.
