Append text at the end of a line with Sed

For example I have a line starting with:

protocols = imap

and I want:

protocols = imap lmtp

So I run:

$ sed -i '/^protocols = imap/ s/$/ lmtp/' file

I do self-funded research and I'm writing a book.

> What's the book about?

About technologies and agency.

Meaning, technologies can foster agency. No doubt. But I am also asking:

Can usage of technologies give us a sense of empowerment while in fact undermining our abilities?

I posted a summary of the prologue on the homepage: https://yctct.com/
