First of all, I am a complete novice. I have spent weeks reading books and doing numerous VB.net exercises to start to learn some of the concepts in preparation to take on the job I’m trying to do for my church’s Men’s Club.

In short, I’m trying to have VB.Net read new incoming Outlook mail messages and parse the body of the message into a SQL database used by another application. I have found examples of how to read an Outlook mail message which I have tried to use (and understand) but all seem to have problems/errors that Visual Studio objects to. Can anyone give me a very very simple example of code I can try and learn from on how to read Outlook messages contained in the Inbox and extract the body of the message? I’m not trying to solve my complete task with this request, I want to use this example to start to learn how this kind of thing works.

PS: If you know of a BEGINER’S tutorial on reading Outlook messages with VB.Net via Visual Studio, this would be much appreciated also. I have only found one and it was for VBA which I couldn’t seem to convert.

Thank you!
