remote Email retreival and forward... looking for suggestions of approach.

[PC Nerd]

Hi,

 

Im looking for a few pointers about how to approach a small project I have.

 

I want to have my spider run half hourly, or so - and i want it to login to my email.... using POP3 ( Autheticated etc).  I then want it to read the first x characters from message and the subject and then email a copy of the abbreviated email to another email address, where it gets displayed elsewhere as an alert that i have new mail.

 

Im remotely familiar with cURL, however more with teh wrappers than with the actual cURL interface etc.  Is there anothe rmethod ti download teh unread emails???

 

Thanks
