      Nothing is built in to .NET as far as I know. There are several third-party components that will talk to email servers, though. If you want to talk to an email program, I think COM/MAPI is still it.

            .Net does not has native support for this (but you could build your own component using sockets and others *low* level components), as others have said, exists third party components that will do this for you, one of them is: http://www.chilkatsoft.com/Email-DotNet.asp[^] Hope this helps.

              No problem, I am not Chuck Norris. :) P.S. When I google with "receive mail .net", all I get is reference on how to send e-mail in .net.

                I was hoping to avoid low-level coding in C#, but I will take a look at the article. Thanks.
