Reading email in outlook with c# and parsing the body

Question

Hello,
I don't know where to start.
The organization I work for uses different user web forms to collect user/client feedback. Instead of having those forms populate a table, they have them emailed to me as text in the body of an email for me to decide what to do with. My (local) boss wants
me to upload the data into our CRM. Everyone expects me to do that by hand ( which is now getting out of hand :D.)
I need to read an outlook 2010 email in a shared mailbox (to which I do not know the account password for mail server access) and parse the body data into a data table. 
If I can get some help understanding how to access the individual email file(s) and read the data into a string array or something that achieves this result, I can take it from there.  All suggestions are welcome however going back to the admin who
is in another country, won't make changes and doesn't speak english are not paths I can follow.
My glass here, is half full with the opportunity to resolve this challenge.

Hello,
You can develop a VBA macro for handling new emails in the shared mailbox. I'd suggest starting from the
Getting Started with VBA in Outlook 2010 article. If you see a shared mailbox in your Outlook profile you can subscribe to the Inbox events (for example, ItemAdd) in the following way:
Dim WithEvents myInboxMailItem As Outlook.Items
Private Sub myInboxMailItem_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)
Call MsgBox("Item Added", vbOKOnly, "[email protected]")
End Sub
Private Sub Initialize_Handler()
Dim fldInbox As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim gnspNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace
Set gnspNameSpace = Outlook.GetNamespace("MAPI") 'Outlook Object
Set fldInbox = gnspNameSpace.Folders("[email protected]").Folders("Inbox")
Set myInboxMailItem = fldInbox.Items
End Sub
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Call Initialize_Handler
End Sub
In the ItemAdd event handler you can get all the required information parse the message body. The Outlook object model provides
 three main ways for working with item bodies: Body, HTMLBody and WordEditor.
