[plt-scheme] How to send, receive email?

Warren,

I would check out

http://schemecookbook.org/Cookbook/NetSendEmail

for the basics

For supplying a password...

use the keyword arguments to smtp-send-message:

#:auth-user "username"
#:auth-passwd "password"

If you are connecting to an SSL server, also use the keyword arguments:

#:port-no 465
#:tcp-connect ssl-connect

A full example:

(smtp-send-message (smtp-server)
                             from
                             to
                             (standard-message-header
                              from-header
                              to-header
                              cc
                              bcc
                              subject)
                             content
                             #:port-no 465
                             #:tcp-connect ssl-connect
                             #:auth-user smtp-username
                             #:auth-passwd smtp-password)
