-To help me debug your issue, please explain:
-- What were you trying to do?
-- What happened?
-- What did you expect to happen?
-- Step-by-step reproduction instructions and/or a simple test case.
-
-If you got an exception, please include the exception Message *and* StackTrace.
-
-Please also INCLUDE A PROTOCOL LOG (scrubbed of any authentication data), especially
-if you got an exception such as `Syntax error in XYZ. Unexpected token: ...`.
-If you do not include the protocol log, you will make me VERY UNHAPPY.
-
-Without a protocol log, I CANNOT fix the issue. I will simply close the bug report.
-
-To get a protocol log, follow one of the following code snippets:
-
-```csharp
-// log to a file called 'imap.log'
-var client = new ImapClient (new ProtocolLogger ("imap.log"));
-```
-
-```csharp
-// log to a file called 'pop3.log'
-var client = new Pop3Client (new ProtocolLogger ("pop3.log"));
-```
-
-```csharp
-// log to a file called 'smtp.log'
-var client = new SmtpClient (new ProtocolLogger ("smtp.log"));
-```
-
-Note: if the protocol log contains sensitive information, feel free to email it to me at
-jestedfa@microsoft.com instead of including it in the GitHub issue.
