You may want to include Mail.dll .NET mail component in your ranking. It has SSL support, Unicode, and multi-national email support:

using(Pop3 pop3 = new Pop3())
{
    pop3.Connect("mail.host.com");      // Connect to server
    pop3.Login("user", "password");     // Login

    foreach(string uid in pop3.GetAll())
    {
        IMail email = new MailBuilder()
   .CreateFromEml(pop3.GetMessageByUID(uid));

        Console.WriteLine(email.Subject);
    }
    pop3.Close(true);  
}

IMAP protocol is also supported.

Please note that this is a commercial product I've created.
