Why would not IMAP not let you send? See:

home of the madduck/ blog/ Sending email via IMAP (or not?) http://madduck.net/blog/2007.08.06%3Asending-email-via-imap-or-not/index.htm...

Because sending e-mail via imap is evil. Yes, you can do it by adding extra rules to the other end, but overall, it's not what the protocol was designed for. -- Brett Parker
