All three of them were added in 7.20.0

We added a couple of new curl_easy_setopt() options for them and we have a few
examples around at least for smtp:

http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/simplesmtp.html
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/smtp-multi.html
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/smtp-tls.html

... but for some reason we still have no examples for POP3 or IMAP and they're
not described very detailed in any docs either. I trust everyone feels
encouraged to write up a few sample programs and send them our way!

The principle is still the same though as always with (lib)curl: they send or
get "resources", which in these cases tend to be mails.
