If coordinated right, it would centralize the thankless work of kludging around nonstandard, broken IMAP server implementations. Imagine if, instead of each MUA author having to develop, test, and maintain dozens of ugly hacks, they were collaborating to improve a single JMAP proxy codebase that all could use.

I use DavMail to use MailMate with the Exchange of my work. This works very good. And in contrast to Exchange-IMAP this way I can use Tagging as DavMail translates between Exchange categories ans IMAP keywords.

Sometimes it is (much) better to use a tool like DavMail than to work you don't like. :)

I know this is a little different than a JMAP-IMAP-Proxy. But nothing gets better if you stick to the same thing forever. We all know, that IMAP has problems. Either "we" do the step to a protocol like JMAP or someone else will create facts. Has there been a greater chance of switching to a non-proprietary mail protocol?

I'd be willing to take the step – ok, maybe it's easy to say as an end user. :)
