Free C# POP3 Component
I am creating a component at work. One of the requirements is that the component be able to retrieve email from a POP3 server. I looked around at purchasing several components like DevMail, ANPOP POP3 Component, etc...
However, I finally landed on a free component called CSLMail v2.0. It was pretty easy to get up and running doing simple sending and receiving of email. I ran into issues when I tried to receive and delete multiple emails using the same connection. It got to the point where I simply connect, execute a command, then immediately disconnect. I have been testing our component with CSLMail for about a week, and so far, so good.
If you are in the need of a lightweight component for retrieving emails from a POP3 server, give it a try.
