    Take a look at the POP-3 protocol.
    There are commands to list the messages on the server, commands to read/down-load the messages and commands to delete the messages on the server.

    Use the WinSock facility in VB to do the hard work of talking over the network to the POP-3 server.

    Search this forum for examples of people doing this, or take a look in http://winsockvb.com/article.php?article_id=21
