New mail indicator

Question

Email

Good afternoon.
We set such a task. An application is required that would hang in the tray, and with a certain periodicity go to the mail server and check for the presence of a letter with a certain header, if there is one, it would somehow signal this.
Question: maybe there is already something similar. And if not, what is the best and easiest way to write it?

Answer 1

You can write in AutoIt, everything is quite simple.

Answer 2

Connect email2sms to your mobile, in Googlemail create a forwarding filter by header to your mobile email and every time you will receive an SMS, the cost of implementation is 10 minutes.
And everything is free.

Answer 3

write in what you know best
libraries for parsing email headers available in any language
libraries for working with POP are available in any language.
what is not in this language (IDE) can be found in C / C ++
any C / C ++ library can be integrated into your application.
