System.Net.Mail is just for sending mails. You'll need a 3rd party IMAP and/or POP3 Library such as https://www.codeproject.com/tips/466863/imap-and-pop-clients-in-csharp

(a search for imap pop3 csharp should return multiple libraries)

If your app handles its own mailbox and your company is using Exchange you could also use Exchange Web Services : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/client-developer/exchange-web-services/explore-the-ews-managed-api-ews-and-web-services-in-exchange

I need a dll which is not licensed to write this code. IMAP and POP3 uses third party dlls. After some months it will not work since it will ask to renew the license or buy license.

Add "free",  "open source" or "github" to your search engine request and you should find free librairies. For example a quick search gives https://github.com/jstedfast/MailKit
