Receiving Pop3 emails?

Question

Basically I am writing a Managment System.

One section need to read new emails and check if they are incidents that need to be inputted into the system. The emails that are incidents always look the same so I need to extract the information from the email and add it into Database as a new incident.

 

I have never used pop3 and so am at a loss as to how to go about this, I need to know how to recieve the mail and then some guides as to how to get the information out of the body.

 

I have wired an event that will call this method when a new *.eml file is created in the users mailbox, ie a new message has been received.

 

How do I connect to a POP3 server and extract information from the body?

 

Thanks in Advance. (It seems there are no DOT.Net functions to do this)
