hi clueless,
i am not sure if i understand your question propperly but it seems that using a simple shell script will solve most of your questions in no time.

Python is the best language for just about everything. ;o)

Having said that, if you can solve your problem with some fancy one-liners, Perl owns this area.

there should be some supported service calls to the mail server through which you should be able to retrieve the possible information.

then perl should be the way - as thats much easier
