Description
I've been a happy pytest-localserver for a while now. It works great for SMTP. Since we moved from GSuite to self-hosted email, it became clear to me that sent emails are no longer automatically appearing in the Sent folder. So I now had add code to connect to the IMAP server and append the message to the Sent folder. It'd be useful if pytest-localserver would also provide support for IMAP.

No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by reviewing the existing SMTP support and how pytest-localserver exposes server fixtures, then determine the scope of providing IMAP support. Done means the plugin offers usable IMAP support for the reported Sent-folder use case, with corresponding tests.
