How do I programmatically read an incoming email with .NET. I need a method to take the content of email message (in this case XML) on a POP server and read it into my application.

Ideally this could be solved by:

• .NET code that I can run as a background task on my webserver to process the email.
• A service that can POST the contents of the email to my webserver.

Although I'm open to other options.

EDIT: Copied from the "non-answer":

Currently, we're looking at using the email accounts our hosting company provides.

Our own mail server could potentially be an option, but its something the we'd need to contact the host about.
