It doesn't, and wasn't intended to. The OP was worried about security
of the attachment process during mail submission. IMAP is not involved.
I'm told that gmail offers an SMTP interface, but I don't know how
well it works, or its pros and cons. That's why I wrote "the OP's
problem was … with mail submission …", in case that had got forgotten
with the thread drifting across to the topic of reading emails.
Clearer?
