I use Net::IMAP::Simple to do stuff with emails on our Exchange server.

When will this run? Is this something yuu want to run yourself, something you want to run periodically on it's own (like once a day, even when you're out sick), or something you want to process each email as it arrives? Is this something you're going to run on your desktop* or on a server somewhere?

*I'm defining "server" is a computer you don't turn off and "desktop" as one that you do turn off.

I usually have stuff like this run on a server with cron in unix or Scheduled Tasks in windows.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
