             Summary: Implement JMAP RFC-8620 & RFC-8621
                 Key: JAMES-2887
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-2887
             Project: James Server
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: JMAP
            Reporter: Tellier Benoit
            Assignee: Antoine Duprat


Historically, James is an early adopter for the JMAP specification, and a first 
partial implementation was conducted when JMAP was just a draft. IETF draft 
undergo radical changes and the community could not keep this implementation up 
to date with the spec changes.

As off summer 2019, JMAP core (RFC-2860) and JMAP mail (RFC 8621) had been 
officially published (will not change anymore). Thus we should implement these 
new specifications.

Point of attention: part of the community actively rely on the actual 'draft' 
implementation of JMAP existing in James. We should ensure no changes is done 
to that 'draft' protocol is done while implementing the new one. 

The proposed approach is to keep the current implementation under the 
`jmap-draft` name, and implement step by step a `jmap` compliant 
implementation, that will be exposed on a separate port. No modification in 
`jmap-draft` integration test should be counducted.

This will allow existing `jmap-draft` clients to smoothly transition to `jmap`, 
then trigger the classic "deprecation-then-removal" process.

For now, as a first implementation step, we will only support `jmap` on top of 
memory-guice (ease testing, speed of development). To ensure a 
`storage-compliant` behavior of newly introduced storage APIs, we should use 
persistent datastructures (like the one in vavr) and always deep-copy objects 
at the storage boundaries.
