See my program at http://it.geocities.com/call_me_not_now/index.html
You may study it.

But for short you can use

from email.Parser import HeaderParser
# then you can parse the mail, body etc here below

M = poplib.POP3('mail.blah.com')
M.user('username')
M.pass_('password')
numMsgs = len(M.list()[1])
for cnt in range(1, numMsgs +1):
    header= M.top(cnt,0)[1])
