I am preparing an application which is a request - approval system. Currently the application is on Internet. My task is to move the application to Company's Local VPN Network. Situation is when any approver receives email in Mobile Phone, he/she click on a
link in the mail-body, it opens in Mobile's browser with the supplied URL path, and the approver clicks on Approve/Reject button to take his desired action instantly.
After moving the application to Company's VPN network, it will not be possible to open the Webpage in Mobile devices due to VPN restrictions, hence there is another technology required - Email Reply with desired action (Approve/Reject).
What I can do is - can make 2 links with mailto: (to set the predefined To, Subject, Body) for Approve or Reject in mail body.
Please Note: We have Lotus Notes as mail platform, and using its SMTP service to relay emails to users.
I could not find the satisfactory solution to setup incoming
email in IIS or lotus server and next step would be trigger function when any new mail is there.
If above is possible with Lotus Notes or can I setup any
new custom email on local server of IIS, Please
support me...

You can setup IIS to use SMTP to place incoming email in a directory. You
could use a Windows service to forward the email to Lotus Notes from the directory used by IIS using SMPT, triggered by FileWatcher.

I was exactly trying to figure out the way how to -"setup IIS to use SMTP
to place incoming email in a directory" where email will come from users (Lotus Notes Users) reply.
Can you please guide me how to setup this IIS to use SMTP to place incoming
email in a directory, then we can try to make some service to trigger a function to process the email information.

Sorry, after looking at this, IIS is for sending email via a SMTP server, which cannot receive emails.
You do have INotes, which can be setup for HTTPS to encrypt emails I suuspect, since you have issues with a VPN setup for uses outside the domain of a protected network.
If you find the post has answered your issue, then please mark post as 'answered'.
Thanks for understanding my exact needs.
As per your confirmation, I understand that its not possible to setup incoming mail in IIS, i cannot setup approval by mail reply using Lotus Notes.
is there any third party tool setup possible to perform the need (considering VPN and Lotus Notes Setup)? if yes any reference....

You could look into iNotes. You can also post to a Lotus Notes forum.
