Hi all.
I have an email account which I have set up with Microsoft Outlook. I want to write a VB.NET 2005 program which runs in the taskbar. I have set up the forms to allow a user to enter their email account details. I need to then run a process to check if an email has been sent to that account "in the background". This is monitored at a set interval which is customisable e.g. every 5 mins. If there is a message then I want a notify icon and a context menu strip arrangement to pop up with the information and play a sound.
I am relatively new to VB2005 and Im not sure what to do. I have heard about the winsock tool but dont know anything about it. If anyone could point me in the right direction I will be grateful.
Thanks in advance.
