Automatic Import of Emails

Is there a way to automatically import incoming emails into a SQL
Server Database?
I know it is inefficient, but we have to run a number of rules on the
email after it is received. Store it in a database and be able to
connect other things, meetings, contacts, etc. Moving it back and
forth in chunks can be difficult and the overhead could spiral out of
control.
So we were thinking of moving it to the DB as it was retrieved.
What do you think would be a better solution to retrieve it?
Does my email make sense?
