Is there an API for POP/IMAP in iOS?

In my app I need to access mail programmatically without using a MFMailComposeViewController. I have sent email with the help of SKPSMTPMessage from google code. Now I have to connect and check mail via POP3 or IMAP. Is there an API to download mail using POP3 or IMAP? I am not looking for a way to interface with开发者_JAVA技巧 Mail.app.

Thanks in advance.

You can try MailCore. MailCore supports SMTP and IMAP

I tried MailCore and reMail a year ago and it was too complex for me. I don't know if they improved now, but at that time I just gave up on them and written my own code. I uploaded it to sourceforge now, so whoever finds this discussion in google is welcome to try it.
