Can someone point me in the right direction?

I need to programmatically receive e-mails, and save the attachment, using

Are you accessing Outlook or POP3 or IMAP?

You need to access a mail server and download the messages.

You can use a 3rd party component like nSoftware's IPWorks... or Indy
Sockets.

I'm trying to build a stand alone application, and would rather not put
on outlook. I was looking for a way to do it within VB2005. I guess I kind
of assumed MS had some kind of functionality I hadn't been able to find.

I'm not telling you to install outlook. I'm asking where is your mail
stored?

Exchange Server, POP3, or IMAP?

There is no built in functionality. You need to write it from scratch
(hard) or use a 3rd party component.

I see, my apologies, I have a Pop3 account.
