Receiving email in VB 2005

Hi all,

I can't find it. A long time ago I made in VB6 an alternative e-mail client,
to receive and process e-mails. Now I need to do something similar, but of
course in VB2005. I found a system.net.mail object, but it seems I can only
send e-mails with this object. I need to receive e-mails and then process
the contents...
How do I receive mail in VB2005?

Tia,
Martin

How did you do this in VB6? Perhaps you could just update that code?

Thanks,

It depends on how your email server handles the emails. If your email
server is a POP server, you can use an open source component, OpenPOP to
retrieve and process the emails.
