I have written a program in C# which connects to a POP Server and retrieves raw email message strings from the server using POP3 command RETR.
Since the email message being retrieved by the program is in plain text format with all the headers and message body with in the same, its too difficult to extract each header and mail body from the raw string.

Could anybody tell me a solution by which I can parse the entire raw text to a System.Net.Mail.MailMessage object?

Following is a sample email raw string:

    After a bit research I could find the OpenPop.Net open source library which has almost all the short hand methods to communicate with a POP3 server.

    It is highly useful since it will wrap up the raw email message to a strongly typed Message object and the different parts of an email message including any of its attachments can also be accessed separately. It is really awesome!

    Here is the link:
