Hi,
There are simply too many places to look at. There are really two different problems: the first is to download the email and manage the mailbox (see what messages you have there, delete what you already downloaded, etc). For this, I think the best source of information is still the 10-years old RFC 1939 you can download from www.ietf.org. It describes in detail the protocol and is very easy to follow and implement (after all, you only need a TcpClient on port 110 and off you go).
The second problem is that unless all you need are the message headers, you may have to decode the message from the appropriate MIME type. The following example may help: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/despop3client.asp. It covers both a POP3 client and a basic discussion on MIME types and handling.
