Monitor an mailbox without using Outlook

[Guest]

I need to monitor an mailbox and whenever i receive an e-mail, i need to
process this e-mail. I know my problem is very similar to that of the thread
"Monitor Outlook Mailbox for new e-mail and process e-mail in VB.Net
Application". De key difference is not to use Outlook.

thanks in advance

do that.

Thanks for you help Ken. I now know how to connect to a POP3 server.
Do you have any tips on how to retrieve messages and check the Subject field
and body?
