Are there any cross-platform (only interested in Windows and OS X) IMAP libraries which I can use from C++? Preferably open source as well.

I am currently using the IMAP library from Chilkat, but this is Windows only.

I've found libEtPan and VMime and just wondered if there were any others I could look at to compare.

Another good choice can be cURL library which is C library but it has C++ bindings - cURLpp.

The best thing is that it is licensed under the MIT license which perfectly fits for the commercial use or a non-opensource projects.
