I doubt it. They are totally different protocols.
Firstly does your ISP support IMAP ?
remember that IMAP leaves your mail on the server, many ISP's
won't like that !
I download my mail using SMTP (via Postfix), but I am fortunate that I have
an ISP that supports that -- few do. I have no POP or IMAP software
running.
