If you receive your mails using IMAP, then you could write a Java application and use JavaMail to connect to the IMAP server, get the mail, and extract data from the attachments.

You can conntect to Outlook with a COM-wrapper. There are libraries like COM4j. You can access the email, extract the data. But IMAP is much simpler.
