A) Check mail from where? Exchange? A POP3/IMAP server? Lotus Notes? Etc...?

B) The .NET framework is pretty weak when it comes to mail. There are
probably free components out there to access POP3 servers (do a Google
search). I personally have used the Dart Mail tool for .NET and am very
happy with it.

Jeff,

with Dart Mail tool can we seemlessly download attachments with our user
interaction ?

I understand that attachment is a part of the message
but is there any method that allows us(programmers) to save attachment on
the disk.
(or user need to manually click on the attachment and save it)

Attachments are part of the message, so when you retrieve the message,
you're also retrieving the attachments. I'm not exactly sure what you're
asking.

You can access the attachments programmatically and do whatever you want
with them.
