Automatically deploying multiple email accounts settings across iMacs in an office

You mentioned enrolled in Apple Business Manager. What are you using for MDM? An IMAP payload is a standard user level profile that should be available in most (all) MDMs (with the exception of Apple Business Essentials). (Mail | Apple Developer Documentation

While most deployments would expect a variable for username and password, you would be creating explicit configurations. One for each of the accounts. The profile can then be delivered to the user who require access to the specific account. Create one profile per account. This will allow easier assignment in the future.

Note, and I realize this you are not here to be lectured... You should be looking for a better solution than IMAP for your mail. Microsoft's Shared Mailbox would likely be a better solution as it relies on delegation. Thus, you are not sharing passwords and you can secure the primary account with MFA. This is a much better security model.

Hope this is helpful.

The only way I can think of is having an MDM which can help you configure this.
