How can I read email from GMail accounts from C#?

Question

I've tried the code found here:

http://www.revenmerchantservices.com/page/read-gmail.aspx

But it doesn't seem to work; I get the following error:

A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 209.85.227.109:995

I have POP enabled on all my GMail accounts.

I can use third party tools like this sidebar gadget, so I don't think port 995 is blocked or anything like that.

Any thoughts?
