ISS Add in or ASP?

[SJ]

Dear Friends,

I am developing a web app and need to have my app pull from an POP
mailbox at periodic intervals and update my web apps database.

Can I use asp to write a service that will run ever say 1 minute or do
I need to write some kind of a dll and add it into IIS? Any have an
idea on how to do this?

Thanks,
-SJ

p.s. Sorry about the cross post.

neither. iis only responds to request. you should make a nt service

You should write a windows service, and you cannot do that in ASP. A web
application is not meant to be used to run a task at a specified interval.
A web application answers to requests sent by a client.
