Above post will work with your company email POP3.

Refer POP rfc http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1939

Steps

using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using System.IO;
using System.Net.NetworkInformation;
using System.Net.Security;
using System.Net.Sockets;

protected void Button9_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

try

{

// create an instance of TcpClient

TcpClient tcpclient = new TcpClient();

// HOST NAME POP SERVER and gmail uses port number 995 for POP

tcpclient.Connect("pop.gmail.com", 995);

// This is Secure Stream // opened the connection between client and POP Server

System.Net.Security.SslStream sslstream = new SslStream(tcpclient.GetStream());

// authenticate as client

sslstream.AuthenticateAsClient("pop.gmail.com");

//bool flag = sslstream.IsAuthenticated; // check flag

// Asssigned the writer to stream

System.IO.StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(sslstream);

// Assigned reader to stream

System.IO.StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(sslstream);

// refer POP rfc command, there very few around 6-9 command

sw.WriteLine("USER your_gmail_user_name@gmail.com");

// sent to server

sw.Flush();

sw.WriteLine("PASS your_gmail_password");

sw.Flush();

// this will retrive your first email

sw.WriteLine("RETR 1");

sw.Flush();

// close the connection

sw.WriteLine("Quit ");

sw.Flush();

string str = string.Empty;

string strTemp = string.Empty;

while ((strTemp = reader.ReadLine()) != null)

{

// find the . character in line

if (strTemp == ".")

{

break;

}

if (strTemp.IndexOf("-ERR") != -1)

}

str += strTemp;
