Getting Email into Databases and have the address and header in seperate fields

[dark_destroyer]

Hi All,

I usually would attempt some sort of code before asking a question but I really havent a clue where to start, basically I want to download emails from our mail server and insert them into a MySQL database, but I need the address, email header, body of email and time/date stamp in seperate fields, is this possible?

Would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.  Thanks.

I wouldn't venture to build something like this from scratch... someone must have done this already.

Someone must have!!!! but I have searched High and Low and cant find anything, coudl anyone suggest a different method of doing this, it has to use email or an sms(text message) system. I have a bit of experience using Java, C++, VB6, PHP, MySQL, and eVB, so my programming skills are a little limited and my aims are maybe a bit ambitous!!!

You're basically proposing to write and DB-based e-mail client... that's a huge project, no exaggeration.
