RTFM. There are very good RFCs available on the web explaining everything you need to know.
google for "smtp rfc" and "pop rfc"

Ok, this is for everyone who ever thought of doing this...
Don't use this list to do your homework.
The SMTP and POP3 protocols are extremely well documented. If you plan on writing a client (for whatever reason), your first job would be to know the protocol by heart. Make sure you can do SMTP and POP3 manually before you even write your first import statement (or #include or use, or whatever it is in your language of choice).

Well,
Check out the RFC's for SMTP and POP protocols..
Thats where you will find the exact things you need.
