Re: JMAP

[Arnt Gulbrandsen]

I should elaborate...

IMAP makes the server do a number of things that don't really serve the 
user, and that most clients don't use or use very little, but that cannot 
be skipped because a significant number of clients rely on them (mostly 
they rely on them in stupid accidental ways).

Compared to aoxexport, IMAP clients are very slow through aox. 
Fantastically slow in some cases.

Is that because of IMAP's misfeatures? Or rather because of typical client 
implementations? I don't think it matters; JMAP could well be closer to 
aoxexport than to IMAP in performance.

Mark, can you look and see whether you think JMAP is amenable to a pure 
javascript implementation?
