I have an idea that might work in theory. Provided that you have php running
on a Unix based OS. You could forward all emails to an email that sits on a
Unix server. There they are stored as plain text files, then just parse what
you need on a daily basis and truncate that file to 0 bytes.
BUT it sounds that you have the whole setup on a Windows based
machine/server. If you can get access to PHP and Mysql on a unix server
then you will have a chance.
I just did a quick check on the PC and it seems that Outlook express creates
files with a DBX extension to hold email folders.
I found mine at C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Identities\{JIBBERISH
HEX}\Microsoft\Outlook Express. Try anyalsing these dbx files (open them up
in a text editor). But there HUGE even just if they have one message in
them.
good luck

Hi, list
Is there any way in PHP to pass the emails received automatically into a
local MySQL database on the same machine (i.e. the fields "date&time",
"from", "to", "message", "subject", etc), without copying and pasting each
message? Maybe by retrieving and parsing the Outlook Express files that keep
the emails? (the e-mail is received by Outlook Express, and via browser from
a Yahoo account).
Thanks for any help
Alberto
