I use pop.net component to download emails from a catch all account and parse the To: address. This works fine until someone sends an email with more than one email address in the To: field. What happens is one email will be generated for each address in the To: field, however the To: field in each message will contain ALL the addresses instead of just one address. Not a Mailbee problem but is this a problem inhereted in POP? Does this also happen in SMTP?

When you've composed a message in a mail client (like MS Outlook Express or MailBee.NET Objects) which contains some recipients' addresses in "To" field, the mailer sends it to the SMTP server (specified in mailer's configuration) through SMTP protocol. The SMTP server sends the message to each recipient separately, but doesn't change the contents of the "To" header and each recipient receives the message with the full recipients list in the "To" header. This behavior is standard for SMTP protocol.
POP3 protocol doesn't allow sending mail, it allows only downloading messages contained in certain mailbox on a POP3 server. Thus, this behavior doesn't relate to POP3 protocol at all.
Which problem did you encounter during parsing contents of the "To" field? MailMessage.To property isn't a simple string, it's a collection with great functionality. You can get all information about addresses in "To" field as follows (C# syntax):
Code:
// Create new MailMessage object.
MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
// Load message from file (replace this line with your own code)
msg.LoadMessage(@"C:\TestMail.eml");
// For every recipient...
foreach (EmailAddress adr in msg.To)
{
// Show full information about the recipient's e-mail address.
Console.Write("Recipient name: " + adr.DisplayName);
Console.Write("Recipient address: " + adr.Email);
Console.Write("Recipient info: " + adr.Remarks);
Console.Write("Account name: " + adr.GetAccountName());
Console.Write("Domain name: " + adr.GetDomain());
