Answer 2

Dim pop3Client As Pop3Client
Dim i As Integer =1
pop3Client = New Pop3Client
pop3Client.Connect("pop.gmail.com", 995, True)
pop3Client.Authenticate("[email protected]", "mypassword")
Dim inbox_count As Integer = pop3Client.GetMessageCount
Do While (inbox_count >= i)
Dim message As Message = pop3Client.GetMessage(i)
Dim messagePart As MessagePart = message.MessagePart.MessageParts(0)
messagePart.BodyEncoding.GetString(messagePart.Body)'give you message body
message.Headers.From.Address'give you from address
message.Headers.DateSent'date of mail send
message.Headers.Subject'subject of the mail
i= i + 1
Loop

For this answer to be useful, you'd have to be telling people where "Pop3Client" comes from, since it's not a standard ASP.NET class. – Arber
