This repository contains an easy-to-use and well-documented .NET library component for communicating with and receiving electronic mail from a Post Office Protocol (POP3) server.
There's already a plethora of POP3 libraries available for .NET, so it'a not like there is a need for another one. I primarily created this for the fun of it and because writing a POP3 library really is a breeze, when you already have a solid implementation of IMAP with a MIME parser.
To use the library add the S22.Pop3.dll assembly to your project references in Visual Studio. Here's a simple example that initializes a new instance of the Pop3Client class and connects to Gmail's POP3 server:
using System;
using S22.Pop3;
namespace Test {
class Program {
static void Main(string[] args) {
/* connect on port 995 using SSL */
using (Pop3Client Client = new Pop3Client("pop.gmail.com", 995, true))
{
Console.WriteLine("We are connected!");
}
}
}
}
Here are a couple of examples of how to use the library. Please also see the documentation for further details on using the classes and methods exposed by the S22.Pop3 namespace.
- Supports POP over SSL
- API designed to be very easy to use
- Allows selectively fetching the headers of mail messages
- Inherently thread-safe
- Well documented with lots of example code
- Free to use in commercial and personal projects (MIT license)
