You don't have to issue the POP3 commands explicitely with the 
Pop3Client class. Look at the documentation:

hConn.Count returns the number of messages.

hConn[i] returns the i-th message.

hConn[i].Size returns the message size.

hConn[i].Text returns the message contents "as is".

hConn[i].Message returns the message parsed as a MimeMessage object.

hConn[i].Delete marks the message as being deleted. It will be actually 
deleted when you call hConn.Close(), but not if you call hConn.Abort().

Then go look at the MimeMessage class documentation of gb.mime!
