"active" is an interesting concept.  It's still alive, though rarely used.

There's plenty of JMAP activity happening elsewhere, the working group at 
IETF:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/jmap/about/

And the "Make Better Email" conference which I'm sitting in right now!  
Where I've just done some interoperability testing between Cyrus IMAP and 
the TMail client:

https://github.com/linagora/tmail-flutter


Yeah, but I thought my questions were not well-suited for the WG. This list 
doesn't have much activity, so I was wondering what's the proper place for 
"user" discussions.
 

I want to experiment with JMAP with my main email addresses, but I'm not 
ready to take the plunge yet. I was setting up about setting up a server 
and using an IMAP-to-IMAP synchronizing tool (offlineimap, isync, etc.) to 
do a bidirectional sync of my mail addresses to my server.

This would achieve two things a) I would have a backup of my email b) I 
could use JMAP clients on my email.

Is anyone doing something similar with good results? My two email addresses 
are GMail and Yahoo (I believe Yahoo IMAP is fairly vanilla). Anyone can 
recommend a good combination of tools?


You could run a Cyrus IMAP (see the docker server above as an example) - 
which will give you a pretty comprehensive JMAP server, though I haven't 
yet set up email sending.

Alternatively, you could look at Stalwart, it seems pretty awesome:

There may be others, but I don't know them so well.  Of course there's my 
old Perl JMAP-Proxy, but it's very stale now.


Yeah, the proxy would be ideal- it would allow me to play with JMAP clients 
without much effort. But I was worried about staleness, yes.

I might give Stalwart a shot- I'm a Rust fan :)... But I was concerned that 
sync'ing my email bidirectionally to a JMAP-aware server might become an 
endless pain- esp. GMail. I understand my use case is rare, but if anyone 
is doing something similar, it would be reassuring, and useful to know 
known-good tool combinations to achieve this.

(Or I could just get a Fastmail account- I had one back in the day and 
loved it...)
