IMAP is only a mail retrieval protocol, you cannot get a transport for this 
provider. You need a transport protocol like SMTP:

Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");

For how to send a message, see the testSendMessage method of 
test/src/TransportTest.java in the GNUMail distribution.
