Retrieving emails and storing them in MySQL

Question

How would one retrieve emails from an email server and put them into a mysql database?

Idealistically sticking with php. But could incorporate another language if needed.

Yes, there's.

If you're using a hosting solution with cPanel. You should take a look at

(useful for php scripts)

If you're using a Postfix solution take a look at

You should look for "piping email to php" or "piping email to python" or what the language you're using on google.

Anyway, with PHP or Python you can achieve that, getting your incoming email to a DB.
