then it would be a new thing that does not exist today ;)

IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol (access being the key)

IMAP is a client sever protocol that allows an email client to query its email and retrieve it. It does not have any facilities to send mail.

IMAP is to retrieve mail....
like POP is...

smtp sends it.
