That depends just what you mean by "read mails from in box". If you mean download mail from a POP3 server then Mail::POP3Client is worth a try. If you mean something else you need to be much more specific. In any case you probably also want MIME::Parser to work with the contents of the email. True laziness is hard work	[reply]

My suggestion is to use modules from Perl Email Project: Email::Folder (Maildir, Mbox, POP, IMAP) and Email::Simple. greetz, Uksza Yes, smart people know that fat arrow autoquotes the left argument. But why should you require your code to be maintained by smart people? Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker	[reply]

A more primitive but workable solution can be found in Net::POP3, it works best on raw (plain text) emails.	[reply]
