Can a job trigger itself upon receipt of an email?

Hi all,
I have a SQL Server Job that I would like to run when I receive an email saying "Data is now ready to be imported to SQL Server" ?
Is there a way to accomplish this.
- Vivekgot a mapi compliant mail server laying around. you might be able to do this with sqlmail.

OR

i have never written too much VBA for outlook (mostly access and excel) but you maybe able to write a rule that drops this email in a certain folder. Then, and I am not sure if there is an event for new mail but there probably is, you can probably make a db call in that event. you would have to leave your mail client open and your computer on.|||Check out xp_readmail in SQL BOL. Basically, you would need to put this inside a SQL Job that executes periodically and then use xp_readmail to "answer" the inbox and trigger your job.

Having said all that, I will say that SQL mail only ever caused me grief and heartache. Go Database Mail (SQL 2004)!
