Monitor incoming FAX queque

[r3dbullo88]

My first post here, altough I've build all my knowledge in AutoIT thanks to this forum

I'll go straight to my case, hopefully someone can help me, current situation: I have an old MFP printer being used as fax server (Forward via mail all incoming faxes), I want to let a PC handle all the incoming faxes, instead of this printer.

I've already attached an USB Fax modem and wrote a script which scans every 10 secs the Inbox folder for any image and automatically forwards and archive everything.

I want to move a step further and add to the Forwarded Email more details such as FAX Sender / FAX Send Time & Date / Etc.

Every help is really appreciated!

Any hints as to where this information should come from?
