You can either check for new email at specific time intervals (from your WCF service). I reckon you'd need to use POP3 or IMAP (as is available).

Alternatively, have a service run elsewhere that your desktop service connects to. Have this service do the email polling and when there's new email, use a callback to communicate this back to your desktop service. That'd work too and would also free up your desktop service from doing too much unnecessary polling.
