@Sandy: final version of POP3 was released in 1996 year, this protocol is in deadly state, because now we have better protocols like IMAP or Microsoft Exchange, then what you thinking about, you want get fresh 2010 implementation of deprecated protocol from 1996? I think 2004 is very fresh!

@Svisstack - thanks for the information; but if you look at the [comments and discussion](http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/despop3client.aspx?msg=3417763#xx3417763xx) session, there are lots of issues raised and people suggesting code update. that is why asked whether you have any experience with it.

MailSystem.NET is an open source alternative that has its value.

It supports advanced POP3 features and much more.
