    If you mean the SQL Server receiving the emails, check out sp_processmail or at a lower level, xp_readmail.

    xp_readMail or sp_processmail are working with SQL Mail but SQL Mail will not be supported in next version so.. I'm trying to use 'Database Mail' instead as per Books online !

    Thks

    Ah, you're using SQL Server 2005 it appears. I don't use it in a production environment at this time, but I think Database mail is send only. I believe that the BOL states that it will not be supported in a "future" verion, not the next version.

    I'd probably use sp_processmail until Microsoft comes out with a replacement via Database mail or CDO, which they are likely to do before deprecating sp_processmail.
