Just so you know where you are headed...

POP3 is just a protocol for downloading emails (i'm sure you realize
that already)

So basically you will download the entire email as a text
file/stream/string.

Actually, that will be the easy part. Even getting headers out of the
email, are relatively easy. I say relatively, because I've ran
litterally millions of emails through my products, and there are
programs that format emails in ways you couldn't begin to imagine.
Let alone all the 'interesting' ways they format bodyparts.

So once you've got an understanding of the POP3 protocol, you will
need to be come really familiar with MIME parsing rules.

Anyway, just wanted to make sure you were aware of where you are
going. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Cheers!
