Best way to automatically copy out attachments from an email

As of now here is my situation:
I am working on a system to aggregate IT data and logs. A number of
important data are gathered by a third party system. The only
immediate way I have to access the data is to have their system
automatically email me updates in CSV format every hour. If I set up a
mail client on the server, this shouldn't be a huge issue.

However, is there a way to automatically open the emails, and copy the
attachments to a directory based on the filename? Kind of a weird
project, I know. Just looking for some ideas hence posting this on two
lists.

Thanks all, and happy hump day!
-Matty
