I do not know about Mac. But following are my notes about what I should do
when installing slackware and want to use p9p's acme Mail together with my
gmail account accessed via imap.
If that can help...
(I use secstore to keep my passwords, but this should not make
a difference.)
note:
My machine has the name 'perseus'.
I guess also something like
127.0.0.1               localhost
127.0.0.1               perseus
must be in /etc/hosts.
Finally, 'rudas.dom' near the end can probably be whatever you like. I do not
know what that is really good for.

#mailing using p9p Mail in acme
#have a 9mail script in bin with
mailfs -t imap.gmail.com
sudo /usr/sbin/stunnel3 -c -d 12345 -r smtp.gmail.com:465
#do what's in $PLAN9/mail/README
#then remove upas/vf from the pipeline in mail/lib/qmail
#(was the cause of the .suspect being attached to mails;
#according to the plan9 mailing list it is no longer used)
#add keys like
key proto=pass role=client server=perseus service=smtp user=rudolf.sykora@gmail.
com !password?
key proto=pass role=client server=imap.gmail.com service=imap user=rudolf.sykora
 !password?
#to factotum (... secstore)
#1st line in 9mail (above) should now be enough so that
#acme's 9 Mail -s could read email
#2nd line thereof should arrange things for sending an email, which
#can be tested with eg
$PLAN9/bin/upas/smtp -ai 'tcp!perseus!12345' rudolf.sykora@gmail.com
rudolf.sykora@cern.ch <msg
#where msg contains
Subject: test

#
#Modify $PLAN9/mail/lib/rewrite
YOUR.MAIL.GATEWAY
change to
tcp!perseus!12345
#Modify $PLAN9/mail/lib/remotemail so that the last line reads
#something like this
exec upas/smtp -ai .rudas.dom $addr rudolf.sykora@gmail.com $*
#note particularly the -ai switch
