(C#) POP3 to SMTP Forwarder

Read a POP3 mailbox and forwards the email to another email address, keeping the recipients in the original email the same.

// Download the email from the server.  Call FetchMultipleMime
// because we don't want to load the emails into email objects.
// (We'll delete the emails that are forwarded without error.)
// Note: It is not reasonable to call this method for a mailbox containing
// a huge number of emails.  For large mailboxes, it's better to download
// one by one and process each email independently. This way, if a 
// server or communications error occurs, it's possible to write code
// that can resume.
