A small number of gigantic companies increasingly control the World's data. This is not healthy: https://mako.cc/copyrighteous/google-has-most-of-my-email-because-it-has-all-of-yours

The big industry players offer a better experience because they control both client and server and can use proprietary protocols. Email standards started decades ago have been holding back innovation. Say hello to JMAP which will change the game! https://jmap.io/

And beyond email, JMAP also supports contacts and calendars (and other object types later): https://jmap.io/spec.html
And all those are accessible in a unified way. No need to have a different process like we do for IMAP vs CalDAV/CardDAV.

Cyrus is the mail server in ClearOS, and it's also one of the main mail servers leading the charge to support JMAP.

The WikiSuite project is fully commited to JMAP and you can learn more here:

    We just need to upgrade to Cyrus IMAP 3.2 when it is released. It looks like it will be released in March 2020.

    We can practice on 3.1.9 (it will be almost identical)

    Thanks!

    Sounds interesting. What needs to be done to support it? Is it a question of changing cyrus-imapd to 3.x or are more fundamental changes needed? It does not look like there is proper support yet in cyrus-imapd and it is still being developed.
