Re: Beast for IMAP

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.
