hi, in case you use Courier-Imap 3 , you can send mails via Outbox through imap. This means couirer supports a special folder called e.g. Outbox in your Maildir, and every valid mail moved/copied into it will be sent out by sendmail or exim or what mta you have....and sendmail links to ;)
The following is what curt wrote and it's still valid. What you described definitely is not a feature of IMAP. You probably have a poll on that folder, which invokes sendmail or whatever.
The IMAP protocol doesn't support the sending of emails, you have to use SMTP. Curt
