You cannot send mail via IMAP. I think you want to send it with some
smtp server.

That's what I use for that purpose:

,----
| (require 'smtpmail)
| (setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
|       message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
|       smtpmail-smtp-server  "mail.messagingengine.com")
`----

Bye,
Tassilo
