Surge,
Perhaps you could check these examples and library out.
Examples
Chilkat POP3 Library
I know you use Linux and these particular examples are for Visual C++. But you can at least get a generalization/ideas of how to access POP3 by looking and modifing the source code no?

For C++, I dont know it has or not but you can do another way by Programming with Socket API, which actually it's used to send data between hosts but with specific Data Header.(Something like HTTP, such as => Content-Type: text/html\r\n) This make you go to look in rfc doc, http://www.ietf.org.

I'll let you know if I come across further instruction.
Good Luck :)
