I swear... I have done my share of searching, but I can't find an OK free POP3 class library out there. I know one exists, because I saw it a few years ago. As long as it can split off attachments, I'm sold. I just don't want to write my own... I'm far too lazy for that!
Suggestions?

Hi,
http://www.devmail.net/
We spent a lot of time finding the best component to do this - and devmail is it...it'll do inline and non-inlined attachments.
Be far the most flexible. It does have some free functionality, and the commercial license isn't too bad when u see what you get.
Saved me days of work!
Support is excellent too...
Best regards
Steve
There's some pop functionality in dasBlog...
ah, there it is...Lesnikowski.Pawel.Mail.Pop3:

Well - if you're talking about commercial components as Steve is - Dave Wanta's aspNetEmail and aspNetMime do an absolutely amazing job...for a decent license fee.
Sorry, but what the heck you you need a POP3 assembly for?
POP3 is SO trivial that basically you can write a connector in what - 5 minutes? 10 minutes?
Note that POP3 is only about downloads. Not about doing anything WITH the emails.
Thank you for that extra special reminder... this was not intended to be an opportunity for you to demonstrate the size of your genitals. You're talking to a guy that described how to do a SMTP exchange in his book.
Read my post. If I wanted to do it myself, I would. I don't.
aspNetEmail and aspNetMime together is only for Smtp, for POP3 features you will need a separate license for aspNetPop3. When combined together, the license fee is a bit too much compared to devMail.Net ( http://www.devmail.net ) which bundles Smtp, Pop3 and Mime in a single package.
Sorry - yes you're right Ross, I meant aspNetPop.net. But aspNetMime takes care of the parsing, and can be used with the Pop3 messages.
http://www.developerfusion.com/show/4071/ might also be worth a look - though you'll have to cut and paste the code yourself ;-)
