mail namespace question

I was looking in the new mail namespace but could't find anything regarding
receiving email, only sending (SMTP Client). Are there any classes available
for IMAP or POP3? I would like to query an email server using certain
credentials to determine if there are any emails messages to process. Are
there any classes available to do this in the new .net framework?

Not in the framework but there are numerous open source libraries for this.

If you google on C# pop3 you will get quite a few. One commercial product I
will recommend is from /n software http://www.nsoftware.com/
