Scripts and emails

[bremen]

Good Morning,

I am taking on a rather ambitous task of trying to automate a task when a certain email is received.  How i see it working in my head is an email will arive, kick off my script, and be able to "copy and paste" inforation from the email where I need it.  The script will be used to udate infromation contained in an application.  Navigating the application is the easy part its the email portion that for me is like a pig looking ata  wrist watch.

Can someone point me in the right direction to get started with this.  With my limited skill in using AutoIT I'm not even sure what to search for to start getting some answers.

The solution depends on the mail client you use. Outlook ...?

I apologize for not specifying.  

Yes, I will be using Outlook.

Then please have a look at this >example script. The function is triggered whenever a new mail arrives.

Thank you. 

That gives me the start that I need.
