I'd personally use a PHP script running as a Cron script on your server, set to run every 5 minutes or however often is needed.
There is an IMAP extension for PHP that will allow you to grab email from your inbox (reference: http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/ref.imap.php), and then you can use standard MySQL connections (http://uk2.php.net/mysql) to insert the gathered information into your database
There is a tutorial on PHP and IMAP available here: http://www.tutorialized.com/view/tutorial/IMAP-Mail-Reading-With-PHP3/649 and I'm sure you'll be able to find loads more by Googling around.

How to forward gmail message to MySQL database?
I want to forward my incoming message from gmail to MySQL db in the hosting server. Is there any way using python? I found a link using python and MySQLdb module(http://danfolkes.com/index.php/2009/01/22/python-grab-email-from-gmail-and-insert-into-mysql-database/), but this doesn't work.
