Following code is taken from Extract Attachments sample which comes with our Rebex Mail component. Downloading from a POP3 server is covered in the HOWTO: Download emails from a GMail account in C# blogpost.

// Load mail message from disk 
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage ();
mail.Load (args[0]);

Console.WriteLine (
    "Message contains {0} attachments.", 
    mail.Attachments.Count
);

// If message has no attachments, just exit 
if (mail.Attachments.Count == 0)
    return 0;

foreach (Attachment attachment in mail.Attachments)
{
    // Save the file 
    Console.WriteLine ("Saving '{0}' ({1}).", 
     attachment.FileName, attachment.MediaType);
    attachment.Save (attachment.FileName);
}
