Re: saving email in imap inbox

I don't know what you mean by a "general IMAP user name and password."

Each IMAP user has his own user name and password.  Unless you set up a 
"mail administrator userid" (which can log in as any other user, hence has 
the equivalent of root access), an IMAP user can generally only save to 
the mailboxes that are owned by that user, and not to some other user's 
INBOX.

If you need to write to someone else's INBOX, you probably need to use 
SMTP to send the message as mail.
