IMAP and SMTP - documentation

I've got another question...

I see there are SMTP, POP and IMAP libraries there. I
haven't found any 
sample code in the source or after extensive googling.  If
someone could 
point me in the right direction for the docs that would be
really 
appreciated. (I'm assuming that the code has been adapted
from another 
smalltalk for which there is documentation.)

By the way, are there any LDAP libraries?

Thank you
Stephen

Unfortunately, there are no docs.  The code was adapted from
public 
domain or (for IMAP) LGPL implementation.

However, SMTP and POP are relatively easy to figure out from
the 
examples.  For example, for SMTP there is this:

exampleHost: host
     "NetClients.SMTP.SMTPClient exampleHost:
'localhost'."

     | user message client |
     user := '%1%2' bindWithArguments: { Smalltalk getenv:
'USER'.
        IPAddress localHostName }.

     message := MIME.MimeEntity readFrom:
('From: ', user, '
To: ', user, '
To: foo', user, '
Bcc: ', user, '
Subject: Test mail from Smalltalk (SMTPClient)

This is a test mail from Smalltalk (SMTPClient).
') readStream.

     client := SMTPClient connectToHost: host.
     [client sendMessage: message]
         ensure: [client close].!

It connects to the given host, port 25, and sends a small
message. 
Likewise, this is for POP:

exampleHost: host username: username password: password
     "NetClients.POP.POPClient exampleHost: ...
etc."
     | client |
     client := self connectToHost: host.
     [client
         username: username
         password: password.

         client login.
         Transcript showCr: 'New messages: ', client
newMessagesCount 
printString.
         Transcript showCr: 'bytes ', client newMessagesSize
printString.
         Transcript showCr: 'ids ', client newMessagesIds
printString.
         Transcript showCr: 'sizes ', client newMessages
printString.

         client
             getNewMailMessages: [:m | m inspect]
             delete: false
     ] ensure: [client close] ! !


If you'd like to contribute back documentation patches as
part of your 
experimentation, you're really welcome!

Thank you for the example code. By the way, where are the
examples you 
have referenced? I have had a look again in 
/usr/share/smalltalk/examples/README and there is nothing
there that 
remotely looks like a mail example.

I'll try to.
