Hi, Is there a way to automatically download attachedment files from Microsoft Exchange Server and save it on a filesystem in some folder. I want to automatically download attached files when a new email arrives from a specific contact. Don't want to delete the previous emails just want to download the latest email attachment if coming from some specified contact else don't do anything. I have the smtp host and port but how do I connect to and download the attachments.

I just installed ActivePerl-5.8.8.817-MSWin32-x86-257965 and tried to run some samples with MIME::Parser but am getting an error saying MIME::Parser not found. I downloaded the module from CPAN but when running INSTALL it asks for other modules i.e. stringy etc. I downloaded stringy but how do I go installing this. Where do I get something all packaged in one. I am on windows. Any help is appreciated Thanks
