Simple POP3 client

My simple POP3 client (set up for Gmail) isn't downloading all of my messages...
Any idea why?

I have 350 messages in my inbox and the program only says 296 of them show up.

Program.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Sockets;
using System.Net.Security;
using System.IO;
using System.Data;

namespace POP3Sharp
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            PopGmail mail = new PopGmail();
            Console.Write("Email: ");
            string email = Console.ReadLine();
            Console.Write("Password: ");
            string password = Console.ReadLine();

            Console.WriteLine("Connecting.");
            if (!mail.Connect("pop.gmail.com", 995))
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Connect failed, attempted connection to pop.gmail.com on port 995 (client).");
                return;
            }
            Console.WriteLine("Connected.");
            if (!mail.Login(email, password))
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Login failed, valid username/pass? POP3 enabled on gmail settings?");
                return;
            }

            int messageCount = mail.GetMailCount();
            Console.WriteLine("Number of email messages reported: " + messageCount.ToString());

            //for(int i = 1; i <= messageCount; i++)
            //{
            //    byte[] bt = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(mail.GetMessage(i));
            //    FileStream fs = new FileStream("Emails\\" + i.ToString() + ".txt", System.IO.FileMode.Create);
            //    fs.Write(bt, 0, bt.Length);
            //    fs.Close();
            //}

            Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit.");
            Console.ReadKey();
            mail.Disconnect();
        }
    }
}

and more importantly,
POPGmail.cs

Okay now I know why, some strange gmail POP3 stuff, as per:
http://groups.google.com/group/Gmail-Help-POP-and-IMAP-en/browse_thread/thread/8be2c0b2bf383c15/7c57310cd5b11fc9

it for some reason lets you access them in batches by sending "QUIT" then reconnecting.... or something strange.
