[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) I was reading that page and was just getting more and more confused and then eventually I realised it's an alternative to IMAP. Pretty cool. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago I didn’t know JMAP either. Apparently the authors found the complexity and stagnation of IMAP as well as inability to integrate with basic groupware such as CalDAV caused free e-mail clients to be dropped in favor of proprietary systems. Seems like a fair assessment and if JMAP solves that I’d be very pleased. permalink fedilink source parent
