Servergrid UserLink

Hi, I would like to detect the arrival of email immediately and save an image attachment, write to a database and trigger other events i.e. sending SMS.

If possible I would like to make use of IMAP with Idle functionality (accessing an IMAP enabled mail server) rather than poll the mail server and wondered if there is any way to do this using currently installed components or by installing a third party component? I have come across a product called Chilkat IMAP and wondered if this would be suitable? Although I am a little unsure how or what process monitors the response from the mail server indicating the arrival of new mail?

Hi, just about any ASP.NET component can be used on our servers by uploading its dll into your bin folder. An ASP.NET IMAP component should work with no problems, different components would have different capabilities when it comes to checking email so you may want to take a look at a few different ones to see what fits your needs.
