What is the best way to analyze email content? For example, we want to be able to analyze emails that are sent from third parties and put them in a database. Right now we are using Google Hosted accounts, and we thought that it was possible, using PHP IMAP functions, to extract emails every couple of minutes and analyze their contents, placing them in our database.
I wonder if this is too much? If we send emails to a dedicated server, will there be a way to capture and parse them using PHP?
Not sure how ticketing systems do this ... they let you create a ticket by sending an email to the specified address.
