Develop a software that runs on a Windows server in Excel 2010 (VBA) Project summary: The software receives emails from Gmail account(s) Analyses the message according to rules Logs incoming emails for statistics on an Excel sheet Creates Replies using a template, data from the Excel document , data extracted from the received email Sends the reply by email Project implementation: We, the buyer, will provide a server with Excel installed. You, the seller, will develop the code on this server or add developed code daily. You will also report daily what work has been done and which milestones have been accomplished. You will document the code and additionally installed software segments (like drivers, software libraries etc so we will be able to install/copy the final version of the software on a different server. Phase 1 (see below) is to be completed within 1 week after winning the auction. For details see: "Detailed requirements" below
## Deliverables
Project details: Phase 1: Email Engine To be completed till end of Day 1: Create Excel document with sheet data_Accounts, data_Email, Data_Reply.
