Can Indy send email via IMAP?
#2
Not with Indy. SMTP is the mail protocol of the internet for sending mail.

MAPI is not an internet protocol. It is a local protocol which relies on local binaries and services. While remote options exist for it, it is generally not a network protocol itself and it is not an internet standard with an RFC. Thus, Indy does not support MAPI.

Note, MAPI and IMAP are both mail protocols but otherwise have nothing to do with each other.

This is an over simplification, but MAPI is like calling a Windows Library. SMTP/IMAP/POP3 are all network protocols that use TCP connections.
