Yes, your right, libEtPan seems one of the best choices, claws-mail is
based on LibEtPan. 

The other problem is that IMAP is so complex, I don't see how to
integrate it in a gambas project if this project is other thing than a
mail client. Pop is much more like ftp, it can be used in other
projects than a mail client, more than impa IMHO.
