Can LabVIEW read attachement file in an Email?

I know how to send an email with an attachment but is there a vi to read the attachement from Labview?

In order to be able to do so it has to get the email in the first place. This means that it has to act as a POP3 client or IMAP client if you're connecting to something like MS Exchange. Alternatively if you have an email client that has, for example, an ActiveX interface then you can use that to connect to the client and get the email using the ActiveX properties and methods.

 

What do you have?

You would obviously need to look at the documentation for the email client. Outlook, for instance, has one.
