That's a very valid concern, but the larger one for me is that it implies that their IMAP servers are sitting right on the internet (no firewall/load-balancer/reverse proxy/whatever), or that they've automated their infrastructure so much that network-level security controls are essentially bypassed because any services in the Ansible definition are assumed to be authorized/intentional, or that someone intentionally added this one as a ham-fisted backdoor into customer email.
