Helge HeßYou know, you shouldn't do #JMAP. It really is pretty awful. And while IMAP4 is weird, that's what you should do. But my real question is, what was the JMAP client I should try? 🙈
I think what annoys me the most is that this doesn’t embrace HTTP standards at all, it’s a single endpoint that is completely custom behind that, and I don’t understand why that can’t be done properly. Each mailbox and message should be a URL and not hidden behind some arbitrary RPC #JMAP
Chris Hanson@helge Yeah, if you want to do mail-over-HTTP then do mail-over-HTTP, don’t use port 80 for some other protocol. And also there’s no good reason for JMAP to exist, just use IMAP. The IMAP protocol design is perfectly fine, and Marc Crispin ensured it’d even work extremely well over a 2400bps link.
@eschaton I mean there is a valid reason: You cant really implement IMAP in a web client. But that doesn’t mean you can’t do the bridge properly …
@helge Not being able to implement IMAP in a web client is a positive, not a negative. JavaScript was a mistake.
