Connects to the mail server and attempts to login.

Syntax

Example (Connect to POP Mailbox)

POPControl.MailServer = "MyPOPServer"
POPControl.User = "username"
POPControl.Password = "password"
POPControl.Connect()

POPControl.MessageNumber = 1
POPControl.Retrieve()
MessageText = POPControl.MessageText
MessageHeaders = POPControl.MessageHeaders

NOTE: This method has a corresponding asynchronous version (ConnectAsync) for use in the Xamarin environment.
