Email parser to Database

[jaydev]

Hi, I need to write an application to parse the incoming email and
parse the fields and store the values in the database. Can anyone give
me a direction to do this?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks,
Jay

Read RFC 821 and 822 (actually the newer versions, but ...) - they
should tell you all about the email format.

I want to know how to monitor the email?

That depends on what mail server you want to hook into. And
where you want to hook in (front SMTP or back POP3/IMAP4/whatever).

It will be a pop3 server.

Thanks

It will be a pop3 server.

Then look at 1939 and see how you connects to the server,
list emails, retrieve emails but keep a copy on the server.
And then parse what you retrieve.

Could you please explain more or show me some direction to read or
sample code?

Read the POP3 RFC, write some code and when you are stuck post some
code with a description of the problem with it.
