Use the EWS Managed API. It allows you to access a mailbox.

Now, depending on your reaction time (time between message arrival and processing), you can either poll the mailbox from time to time and process all new mails. Or you can use push/pull/streaming subscriptions to get notifications about new mails. See my article on MSDN for a description of the different models.
