reading SMS inbox C#

Hi all;

I want to read messages from the SMS inbox on wm 5.0 and 2003. Itou Can
this be done?
Also how can I intercept an incoming SMS parse it for special words if I
find them I do some processing on it and give it to the inbox, if not I
just leave it to the SMS ( pocket outlook) application

Thanks a lot for your help really appreciate it

Yes, it can be done.

One way to do it is to write a DLL that contains code that implements
IMailRuleClient COM interface and register this DLL with system.
IMailRuleClient::ProcessMessage() is being called for each SMS message
that comes in before it's being saved to inbox. In that handler you can
inspect the message and delete it if you don't want it to appear in
inbox.

For more information google for "IMailRuleClient" or check some of
those links:

WM5.0 already supports this - see
Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.MessageInterception namespace.
A third-party library (www.inthehand.com/WindowsMobile.aspx) provides the
same functionality for both WM2003 and WM5.
