Hi,

Reading external email through pure ABAP won't be an easy task as far as I know. Because it needs user login and password authentication. Therefore it would be better to use something like cURL, which is a good tool for simulating a user's actions at a web browser. You can use cURL on a web server with php installed and after reading the emails pass the contents to ABAP.

You can configure your SAP-System to receive SMTP-Mails (see note 455140). If this is done, you only need to (auto-)forward the mails from the external account to SAP.
