Thanks for chiming in Bron! I'm very interested in JMAP as you can see, but I'm also very curious - do you have any blog pages dedicated to the user experience vs standard IMAP? How it differs - and most importantly if it is truly better, and if so, how and why?
I'd also love to read about actual user experiences - how about a collection of comments from your users? Thanks again, Charles p.s. Even though I've always hosted my own, I'm very tempted to sign up for a paid account to see for myself.
