SMTP build with HTTP library sounds very strange.
Beast is an HTTP 1.1 protocol library.
IMAP and SMTP are also protocols and have nothing related to their syntax with HTTP.

I had worked on the IMAP/SMTP app, and I think it is better to build with Asio only.

The only one related point between HTTP and IMAP/SMTP, is if you need OAuth auth integration.

I've been thinking about writing some email utilities and have looked at
various IMAP libraries. I'm wondering if I should roll my own using Beast.
I've seen an SMTP library using Beast on GitHub. Has anyone else attempted
an IMAP client with Beast?
