How to read mail using msbuild?

Question

Is there any way to read mail contents using msbuild? Any custom tasks or community tasks available to achieve this?

Can I ask why you'd want to pass properties through email? sorry but I'm curious :) — CharlesB, Dec 18 '11 at 14:06
we are having a target where based on property name different action will be done. So without giving permission to build machine ,we can ask them send mail to particular mail id. based on the property name they passed in mail , different action will be taken. — Samselvaprabu, Dec 18 '11 at 14:12
What can I say but [Zawinski's Law](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Zawinski), "Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can". — Ben, Dec 18 '11 at 14:16
