is there a way to do thishey all,
i've installed the exchange sdk and tried a couple of the samples. exchange store sinks and the notification sample app. i think what i need is the notification sample app but i'm not sure. here's what i'm trying to do. i'd like to write an application against the exchange server that will trap an incoming mail event for a particular mailbox. Once that happens, i'd like to manipulate that new message and check for an attachment, if it has an attachment read it or save it and that's it. Is this possible, if so, please let me know. thanks, ari That is possible to implement. Question is which technology you want to use.
I would suggest you to use WebDAV protocol. Check methods SUBSCRIBE / NOTIFY / POLL in Exchange SDK documentation. Michael ------------------------------- If you need WebDAV API for Exchange server, use our component WebDAV .NET for Exchange.

another approach to what Micheal suggested is the use of an EventSink. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/e2k3/e2k3/_exch2k_using_store_events.asp for more information on this.

sample and the sinks? From what i've read about the sinks i haven't seen a way to capture an incoming mail event. all i see about sinks are onSave, onDelete, onSyncSave, when do these ever happen in exchange anyway. ari.

the OnSyncSave event sink is triggered whenever a mail is saved or changed in a folder. This happens synchronously, so you can abort the process if needed. OnSave is triggered, after an item has been created or updated in a folder. You can either write this event sink using vbscript, or, if performance is crucial, as COM+ application using .NET, C++ or Visual Basic 6. The event sink is registered directly on the Exchange server and uses ADO with the ExOleDB Provider to access the data. Subscribe on the other hand, uses WebDAV to access the server and works accross the network. Your code is notified by an UDP packet. So, your code does not have to run on the Exchange Server. A backdraw of this approach is that you must keep the subscription alive by refreshing it periodically. And you do not get the URL of the created or modified item. Instead, you are only notifed that something has happened on the folder. You must then search for new items manually.

look over the sdk, i'm very new to exchange and was looking for a quickstart. thanks for that great reply earlier i just had to read it a couple of times to get the answer. thanks again this helped.

you can use the onsave event for what you are trying to do. See here (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/e2k3/e2k3/_exch2k_implementing_an_onsave_event_sink.asp) for async event sinks or here (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/e2k3/e2k3/_esdk_implementing_managed_onsave_event_sinks.asp) if you are working with managed code. Here (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/e2k3/e2k3/_exch2k_managing_event_registrations.asp) is an overview on registrating event sinks. Once you have an ADO Record object (see first link on how to get that) you can use CdoEx to manipulate the message object. See here (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/e2k3/e2k3/_cdo_imessage_interface.asp) on the reference for the IMessage object.
