Honestly speaking I love programming Outlook, especially Outlook 2003 which provides enough flexibility to integrate with your applications.

This code of snippet is a small example of how you can fetch inbox messages. Before trying this piece of code add a reference for Microsoft Outlook 11.0 Object Library

Language : C#

// to prevent clashing from Application class.

using OutLookApp = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook ;

OutLookApp.ApplicationClass objOutlook = new OutLookApp.ApplicationClass() ;
OutLookApp.NameSpace objNameSpace = objOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI") ;
OutLookApp.MAPIFolder inboxFolder = objNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(OutLookApp.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderInbox) ;
MessageBox.Show("You have " +  inboxFolder.Items.Count + "e-mails.") ;

ListViewItem lvt = new ListViewItem() ;

   int i = 0 ;

   foreach(object obj in inboxFolder.Items)
   {
    OutLookApp.MailItem item = obj as OutLookApp.MailItem;

    if(item != null)
    {
      lvt = this.listView1.Items.Add(item.Subject, i) ;
      lvt.SubItems.Add(item.SenderName) ;
      lvt.SubItems.Add(item.ReceivedTime.ToString()) ;
      lvt.SubItems.Add(item.Body.ToString()) ;
      i++ ;
    }
   }

Enjoy reading.
