pop3 is a fairly simple plain text protocol.

i would say consider using the System.Net.Sockets namespace to create a wrapper class to connect to the pop3 server and do what you need.

Code:

eh. my issue with third party stuff like that is that you spend $100 and learn nothing.

take a day or two and make your own, and now you have not only saved $100 but also gained an invaluable amount of knowledge that you can put towards future projects.

if you know where to go you don't have to pay for it though. but yea you are right about the learning part, if hes trying to learn then yea do it the long way, if you just need a bot go with the library that has it all done for you already.
