For now, I could set some time interval, let's say every five minutes for mail checking. I could parse the mail, but at the moment I am not sure how mail body should look like in order to be sure that I have parsed the information correctly. I agree, #2 is the best approach because you are doing something when the mail arrives. In this case you don't have to pull mail server from time to time. Regards.
