Receive Email via SMTP

Hello All,

So i have an app that sends emails out perfectly. I now need to know if it is possible to receive emails via my smtp server?

I have searched around a bit and can't seem to find much.

Any help would be much appreciated...

Kind Regards and Many Thanks,

Daniel

I had a look at the link and i have a confusion.I used to send email using the yahoo mail server (port 25) and i dont have my own server,so if i use the yahoo mail server in receiving emails also then would it work?

No. If you want to receive emails yahoo is not a good choice, because it does not allow pop3/IMAP access unless you have a premium account. You could use Gmail, I think, but either way you need to use some 3rd party control for receiving emails, because there are no pop3/IMAP classes in the .net framework.

what 3rd party control would you prefer for receiving the emails?
Please suggest

I pulled one off codeproject a while back that I used for a personal app. I don't remember the exact one, but there are a few on there that should work.

Hi, thank you all for your consideration and help. The only thing is i need it in VB.net code not C#. I have tried converting it but had nothing but errors. Basically the app just needs to be simple and clean, the emails read into a listbox of some sort and show up in a textbox or a web browser (for html requirments but this is not a requirement). Thank you...

have a look at Chris' SMTP class
