You can set your application to run on startup using the registery. You add your application into the registry by using this code. Then just add the code you want to run to check for any new mail on the Form Load event.

VB Code:

Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey regKey = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(@"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", true);
 
if (chkStartup.Checked == true)
{
   // Set the program to start with Windows:
   regKey.SetValue(Application.ProductName, Application.ExecutablePath);
}
else if (regKey.GetValue(Application.ProductName) != null)
{
    regKey.DeleteValue(Application.ProductName);
}

Not sure I understand.
You've already created an app that downloads your email using the POP3 protocol.
But you don't know how to run the program when you log onto your pc? :confused:

Why wouldn't you just put the app in the Startup folder on installation? :ehh:
