Something has been changed, on your side, at mailservr side or user account.
Think about, if it was working then stop, something has been changed.Wednesday, January 30, 2019 2:05 AM -

Hi Guhananth,
Are you sure you have enabled pop3 of your accound?
Are you using the right port?
I use gmail to have a test using oponpop and have a success.
Below is my code.
Pop3Client client = new Pop3Client(); client.Connect("pop.gmail.com", 995, true); client.Authenticate(username,password); Response.Write(client.GetMessageCount());
My account setting. Please ensure your pop is enabled.
Best regards,
