Your exchnage sever may have POP3 mail box access set up. If it has it's fairly easy to get Mail::POP3Client to grab the mail. I've had to do this recently:
#!c:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe use Modern::Perl; use Mail::POP3Client; use MIME::QuotedPrint; my $pop_user = 'XXXXXXXXXX'; my $pop_pass = 'XXXXXXXXXX'; my $pop_host = 'exchange3'; #connect to POP3 sever my $pop = new Mail::POP3Client ( HOST => $pop_host ); $pop->User($pop_user); $pop->Pass($pop_pass); $pop->Connect() or die "Unable to connect to POP3 server: ".$pop->Message()."\n"; #count number of items in POP3 mailbox my $mailcount = $pop->Count(); for (my $i = 1; $i <= $mailcount ; $i++) { my $header = $pop->Head($i); #gets the header my $uni = $pop->Uidl($i); # gets the unquie id my $body = $pop->Body($i); $body = decode_qp($body); #decode quoted printable body say "$uni"; say "$header\n"; say "$body"; }
Edit 27/07/2011@10:33BST Removed reference to subroutine not include in code &return_error and replaced with die
