I'd like to write a small .NET Win App to monitor certain folders. When
messages arrive in those folders (I have rules that move them there already)
I'd like to grab the attachment, check it's type and then store them to the
hard drive if they are a certain file type.

Where do i start?
How do I monitor a folder - or, on command, go read a folder from .NET?

Thanks!

See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/index.htm#dotnet -- there are articles on basics for the language you've chosen and for working with folders.
