How can you send mail using IMAP?

by

IMAP is a mailbox protocol. It does not (natively) support sending mail, only accessing it. In order to send mail you must use SMTP. Its possible that there is an IMAP extension for sending mail, and its possible that Google Mail supports that extension, but I doubt it. Hence, if you want to send an email with attachments, you must actually have the full content of the message available to you to send.
