POP3 server not found

Question

can anyone here help me to solve the exception error "server not found". i believe all the parameter that i set is correct but i wonder why exception still occur.Tq

this is part of my code:

private void button_extract_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
  HeadersFromAndSubject("pop@gmail.com",995,true, textbox_email_retriever.Text, 
    passwordBox_Receiver.SecurePassword.ToString(), 10);
}

public static void HeadersFromAndSubject(string hostname, int port, bool useSsl, 
  string username, string password, int messageNumber)
{
  using (Pop3Client client = new Pop3Client())
  {
    client.Connect(hostname, port, useSsl); //error in this line
    client.Authenticate(username, password);
  }
}

I would recommend IMAP and not POP3 - especially if you just want to extract the headers and the subject. — Burhan Khalid, Oct 22 '12 at 04:34

Should use the server name as below , I dont think it not an gmail account to have it as mail id format , only for authentication we are suppposed to use the mail id , try with this

 pop.gmail.com"

Instead of this

 pop@gmail.com

Correct me if 'm wrong

POP3 server not found
