How to use C # to access POP3 servers (cycles)

Access to | server//Hopefully through this article, you can write your own email client program in C #

This is a follow up to my SMTP example which shows how to access your POP3 server. This is the program connects and logs in to your POP3 server, and checks to the how-to-you many new messages.

The instantiation of the POP is in Main ():
Pop pop = new Pop ("Pop-server", "LoginName", "password"); You must replace ' Pop-server ' with the name of your POP server, ' LoginName ' with your own log in, and ' password ' with your Password. The class has two methods. The Connect method takes care of actually logging into to the server. The TcpClient class is used to establish the connection. The ' user ' and ' pass ' commands are used to login. Connect returns a NetworkStream object created during the connection process. The second is getnumberofnewmessages, which returns the number of unread to on the server. The response to the "stat" command are parsed to extract the number of new messages.
