Introduction
This is the second in a series of articles on Internet programming with Microsoft's
new C# programming language. In the first article, I wrote a simple SMTP class.
In this article, I'm going to write a simple POP3 class. The SMTP class that
I wrote was not very useful, except maybe as an exercise, as there already
exists a similar SMTP class in the Web.Mail namespace of the .NET
framework called SmtpMail. Our POP3 class in this article will
be a little more useful as it doesn't already exist in the .NET framework.
I have encountered many POP3 C# classes in my searches of the Internet and
most were sufficient to begin programming email clients.
