    There is no native support for POP3 in the .NET Framework. Sending mail is something that lots of apps would want to do, but reading mail is the domain of purpose-built mail clients. As such it is the job of the developer building the mail client to code it as they want it. You have to use the lower-level .NET network classes to connect using your own implementation of the POP3 protocol.

    First you will have to get a pop server, there are a few free ones out there, could do a google search.

    jmcilhinney search has some good links to developing a class to retrieve pop3 mail. I did it already so I know that it works. The only thing I never got around to doing was to actually download attachments.

    Please say if you need more help on this.
