POP3 Service

Hi.
I need to create an application (service) that will be active in the
background all the time and receive mail. I can't use Microsoft Exchange
Server, I have to make my own. Only problem is that I have no idea how to do
it. Does someone know where could I find some examples or how to do it.
Thanks a lot.PhatCat:
POP3 is a protocol to retrieve mail messages from a mail server. Did
you want your service to poll a mailbox and pull down new messages? Or
did you want your service to listen on a port and actually take emails
via SMTP? (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc821.html)

I don't know of any open source SMTP servers in C# to learn from, you
might consider a free open source package like sendmail :
