His problem is that Pop3Client.Open() ALWAYS returns false because although
it returns As Boolean there is nowhere in the function code that returns
True
Solution...

   Try $Pop.Open()  ' A few things in the Open method can Raise/Throw
an error so use Try
   If $Pop.Status = Net.Connected Then
     Print "Mensajes: " & $Pop.Stat[0] ' Messages numbers.
   Endif
