I'm confused, you seem to be mixing IMAP and SMTP up here. Sendmail is
an SMTP server and a delivery agent, it is not an IMAP server. IMAP
is usually used to READ mail, and SMTP is always used to SEND mail.

I don't think so. What kind of IMAP server do you have that supports
SMTP? Alternately, what kind of sendmail do you have that supports IMAP?
