My team has been using Rebex Secure Mail for .NET for two years and it is really solid. Our service (http://nutshellmail.com/) pulls down millions of POP3 and IMAP messages across all major ISPs on a daily basis. Rebex successfully parses the headers of all these messages. We also use Rebex for our outbound SMTP needs.
We have hit some obscure problems in the past (i.e. GoDaddy's POP3 servers not fully complying with RFC1939); Rebex support was extremely responsive and quickly provided us with a patch.

I decided to give Rebex.Mail a try and I was very satisfied with the results! Not only is the standard fully and properly respected, it's also significantly faster. It only took half a day to migrate my existing code as the API is very similar to .NET's built-in classes.
