The To: header is completely irrelevant anyway. What's important is the
destination address given in the RCPT TO:<> command. It may bear no
relation to any addresses found in the To: or Cc: headers.

There is no standard way of doing this -- POP3 does not provide any
support for it. Demon Internet in the UK have a non-standard POP3
extension -- a '*ENV' command which returns the envelope sender and
recipient addresses. Hopefully, your provider provides something
similar; otherwise, you may have to resort to grovelling around in
Received headers to see if you can glean the information from there or
something.
