Here's what my system is using: running 24/7, accommodating hundreds of users per day.
Sending: System.Net.Mail
Receiving: OpenPop.dll.
Pros:
1. Very fast email fetching.
2. No third party required. That means, error from a third party will not be a concern. You can modify the behavior of you program anytime.
3. Easy to do.
4. You can design an html format(no images), for the body of your message.
Cons.
1. No images in the mail body. (Unless you are willing to attach the image (visible to recipient)).
