I'm sorry but ain't it correct that the .Net framework itself doesn't have POP3 server class for e-mails until now ?!!
But i will just look at the proposed tutorials you supported and come back to you......
thanks again for your time ...

First : thanks for your time, and i would like to apologize about the

TextBox1_Click

i was in a hurry so i copied and pasted too quickly to realize that i copied another event with the code i wish to ask about, my bad.So the event is under a button already, thank you very much.
I know how to debug and use breakpoints, doing this under my code gives absolutely nothing, and as you mentioned that i need to send my username and password to the POP3 server, well i thought i might get an answer from the server, then the server would ask about the username or even return [-err] ....
this code is just a part of an application i'm trying to finish, and as long as i did not land anywhere i thought there is something wrong with the logic.
Using Telnet (Telnet pop3.live.com 995) for example doesn't require Username [User] or password [Pass] at first, you just send the server and the port then the server replies asking you to provide the username then the password, i'm sure you already know that 'I hope'.
My code did not return an error [-Err] in the debug window, it returned nothing......
does this have anything to do with the fact that i'm running WinXp Home Edition Sp3 ?!!
but i tried outlook and it worked fine ... so i'm wondering what is wrong !!!
Again thanks for your time, and here is the correct code 'Under the Button' and as i told you i just need to receive an [-ERR] error from the server for now....

Imports System.IO
Imports System.Net.Sockets
Imports System.Text
Imports System.Net.Security
Class Form1
    Dim Network_Stream As NetworkStream
    Dim Read_Stream As StreamReader
    Private Sub CmdDownload_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CmdDownload.Click
        Dim POP3 As New TcpClient
        Dim PopHost As String = "pop.gmail.com"
        Dim UserName As String = "MyUserName@gmail.com"
        Dim Password As String = "MyPassWord" 'I use 2-step verification so i already have the APP. password fot it

        Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor
        POP3.Connect(PopHost, 995)
        Network_Stream = POP3.GetStream()
        Read_Stream = New StreamReader(Network_Stream)
        Dim Return_String As String
        Return_String = Read_Stream.ReadLine + vbCrLf
        Console.WriteLine(Return_String)
        Cursor = Cursors.Default
    End Sub
End Class

thanks again
