What you didn't understand is that a Task does not run in the same process!

If you call tc.CheckMail() from the main process, you just run the 
method in the main process. The task does nothing. Only the task Main() 
method is automatically called in the task context (and then every other 
method called from the Main() method).

And you have to close the Pop3Client in all cases, which you do not, 
check your code. I think this is the reason why the openssl processes 
still run.
