Your exchnage sever may have POP3 mail box access set up. If it has it's fairly easy to get
Mail::POP3Client to grab the mail. I've had to do this recently:
#!c:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe
use Modern::Perl;
use Mail::POP3Client;
use MIME::QuotedPrint;
my $pop_user = 'XXXXXXXXXX';
my $pop_pass = 'XXXXXXXXXX';
my $pop_host = 'exchange3';
#connect to POP3 sever
my $pop = new Mail::POP3Client ( HOST => $pop_host );
$pop->User($pop_user);
$pop->Pass($pop_pass);
$pop->Connect()
or die "Unable to connect to POP3 server: ".$pop->Message()."\n";
#count number of items in POP3 mailbox
my $mailcount = $pop->Count();
for (my $i = 1; $i <= $mailcount ; $i++) {
my $header = $pop->Head($i); #gets the header
my $uni = $pop->Uidl($i); # gets the unquie id
my $body = $pop->Body($i);
$body = decode_qp($body); #decode quoted printable body
say "$uni";
say "$header\n";
say "$body";
}
