I've tried mailmergelib, Indy.Sockets and OpenPOP for a project I just finished, I ended up using OpenPOP.

mailmergelib: Was not able to find any documentation on how to download a message with attachements

Indy.Sockets: Was able to create a code, but it didn't work with the mails I have. Last version is pretty old.

OpenPOP: It just works! It's class has a good and easy logic. Can highly recommend it

No. Go look at the Pop3MailClient project at CodeProject.

A new option (as of 2014) is MailKit from Xamarin, available under the MIT license. It parses messages from disk 25x faster than OpenPOP.NET. It includes support of IMAP, POP3, and SMTP and seems to be very fast and robust.

Have a look at this project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/hpop/ on SourceForge.

It is a free, open source .NET Class library in C# for communicating with POP3 Servers(retrieve/delete messages and attachments). Supports decoding files in Base64/QP encoding, including attachemnts, MS-TNEF format, and MS mht file. Compiles on Mono, DotGNU and .NET framework

No direct support, there are quite a third party options out there commercial and even some free.

I like: http://www.aspnetpop3.com/

But nowadays there are a lot of alternatives which might be better for your needs (or cost less).
