The likes of AWS SES, SendGrid, and SendinBlue do not provide IMAP. So you will need the IMAP of another mail provider like Google, Zoho, AWS Workmail, etc. A general rule is to use the IMAP of where you receive replies to your emails, but we place no restrictions on this. You can use whatever IMAP you prefer.
