How do you find what exceptions a class can throw?

OP here.  The original question was because I wanted to trap timout
errors when connectiing to a POP3 server in a very simple little
program that collects mail and runs it through a filter before
delivering it.

Thus I simply needed to know what the 'name' of the exception was so I
could trap only timeouts.  Timeout errors are (probably) 'soft' errors
which merit a retry, most other errors when trying to connect to a POP
server would be unrecoverable (POP syntax, wrong name, wrong password,
etc.).

It didn't seem such a difficult question when I asked it! :-)
