in reply to Read Outlook Email/Attachment in Linux.

Is it possible to access the mailbox via POP or IMAP?

If so, then you can pull it using many tools.

Then search CPAN for tools to use.

    I've not tried to access the mailbox thro' POP or IMAP, except that I do get emails from that box to my inbox ( alerts, notifications etc. ) I am checking whether the exchange server has pop/imap access enabled, I doubt it.

    After several attempts and tests, I was lucky in using Spreasheet:XLS and Spreadsheet::XLSX to make Linux parse Excel files.

    On the Email front, while I have a good news that I can access my mail server using IMAP or POP, I am simply unable to install Net::IMAP. I get the following error, please advice.

    Net::IMAP gave following errors:
