Where do I begin to learn how to use pop3 and imap protocols with c#?

I want to read mails from Gmail without deleting them while reading. However I want to have the option to delete a specific email.

Where do I begin?( I don't want to use others libraries - I want to start it from scratch)

Per this about IMAP and this about POP, there is no built-in support for IMAP or POP in .Net. However, there are a plethora of free (and open-source) utilities you can use.

There is no .NET framework support for IMAP. You'll need to use some 3rd party component.
