Question

I am looking for a vb.net code for receiving e-mails without using any 3rd party libraries. I want to check Unread messages, Inbox and Sent messages. A Working sample is appreciated.

What is the default port for SMTP , is it port 25 (is it the same for all SMTP mail servers?). Which is more flexible in my case POP3 or IMAP ?

Edit:
Someone please give me a sample working code for receiving mail using lumisoft (pop) in vb.net

From lumisoft Help.

/*
 To make this code to work, you need to import following namespaces:
 using LumiSoft.Net.Mime;
 using LumiSoft.Net.POP3.Client; 
 */

using(POP3_Client c = new POP3_Client()){
    c.Connect("ivx",WellKnownPorts.POP3);
    c.Authenticate("test","test",true);

    // Get first message if there is any
    if(c.Messages.Count > 0){
        // Do your suff

        // Parse message
        Mime m = Mime.Parse(c.Messages[0].MessageToByte());
        string from = m.MainEntity.From;
        string subject = m.MainEntity.Subject;            
        // ... 
    }        
}
