retrieve email using c#?

Question

I want to retrieve emails from my Go Daddy account using C#. I tested OpenPop.NET to do that like so:

    OpenPop.Pop3.Pop3Client PopClient = new OpenPop.Pop         


        

Answer 1

I found out that OpenPop.Pop3.AuthenticationMethod.UsernameAndPassword is the missing part. I have modified the code to be following and it works.

OpenPop.Pop3.Pop3Client PopClient = new OpenPop.Pop3.Pop3Client();
PopClient.Connect("pop.secureserver.net", 995, true);
PopClient.Authenticate("username", "pass", OpenPop.Pop3.AuthenticationMethod.UsernameAndPassword);

Answer 2

Its probably because your email account is not configured for Pop by default.
Go to settings in your email account and enable pop.

Answer 3

Port 995 is Secure POP3 which doesn't have to be supported by your mail provider.

Use 110 for regular POP3.
