Receiving/Reading external Email from ABAP

Unhelpfully, certain information will only be sent to us in the text of emails sent to a specified email address (instead of a flat text file via sftp etc). This will all be within the same Intranet. We can specify the format.

How can ABAP read the emails in the Inbox of a specified email address? Do you get a specific user to link their Office settings to a POP3/IMAP account (for example?).

/people/anton.wenzelhuemer/blog/2006/05/27/abap-pop3-email-client-using-an-rfc-enabled-php-client-proxy gives a solution but is there a simpler way? No mail management is required (delete, flag when read etc).

Cheers,

Matt.
