Read Email
The Read Email object will retrieve
email from a POP3 server and can save the messages and attachments
for later processing.
Note: The
first time that the Read Email object runs it will retrieve all
email from the server. Every time that the object runs after that,
it will begin from the last email read.
How it is used
The Read Email object combined with
the Filter Email object can be used to monitor email coming into a
designated service mailbox to automatically route help and service
requests to administrators.

you will need to know your POP3 server information and if required

retrieved.
