Select Internet Email and click on Next. Enter your name and email address at user information. Select POP3 for the account type and enter pop.mail.com as incoming server and smtp.mail.com as outgoing server. Enter your mail.com email address and password as log in credentials.
POP3 is a one-way client-server protocol in which email is received and held on the email server. The "3" refers to the third version of the original POP protocol. A recipient or their email client can download mail periodically from the server using POP3.
Ports used for POP3: Port 110 – Default POP3 port. Port 995 – POP3 port used for SSL/TLS.
POP3 (Post Office Protocol) POP3 is an older protocol that was originally designed to be used on only one computer. Unlike modern protocols that use two-way synchronization, POP3 only supports one-way email synchronization, only allowing users to download emails from a server to a client.
Have a look at this project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/hpop/ on SourceForge.
It is a free, open source .NET Class library in C# for communicating with POP3 Servers(retrieve/delete messages and attachments). Supports decoding files in Base64/QP encoding, including attachemnts, MS-TNEF format, and MS mht file. Compiles on Mono, DotGNU and .NET framework

A new option (as of 2014) is MailKit from Xamarin, available under the MIT license. It parses messages from disk 25x faster than OpenPOP.NET. It includes support of IMAP, POP3, and SMTP and seems to be very fast and robust.
