Passing emails to database

Hi, list Is there any way in PHP to pass the emails received automatically into a local MySQL database on the same machine (i.e. the fields "date&time", "from", "to", "message", "subject", etc), without copying and pasting each message? Maybe by retrieving and parsing the Outlook Express files that keep the emails? (the e-mail is received by Outlook Express, and via browser from a Yahoo account). Thanks for any help Alberto
