Hi,

I'm using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition. I done some google search on any guidance on how to write a Visual basic program to receive email, but without any success.

Can anyone kindly advise or guide me how to code the Visual basic program to receive/read email?

Thank you very much for your help.

Recieving email is not trivial. I don't think there's classes built in for that, just for sending it.
