CalDAV, which is an extension of WebDAV, is widely used for read-write access to a remote calendar. I don't know of any other protocol which is replacing this, although there are bound to be some that technically could. Google, Apple and open source projects like the 'Lightning' Thunderbird extension support CalDAV, at least in part.

iCloud contacts & calendars are still CardDAV/CalDAV under the hood.

> I don't know of any other protocol which is replacing this JMAP: https://jmap.io/spec.html https://jmap.io/spec.html. The core and mail specifications are where the focus is, and they’re what’s currently approaching standardisation in the IETF, but there are also the calendar and contact specifications in progress, which are designed to replace CalDAV and CardDAV. I don’t think they’re getting a great deal of attention now, while core and mail are finalised, but once those are done I expect more attention will come to them. (In the mean time, I believe we’ll be speaking the calendar and contact JMAP drafts in FastMail when we switch over to JMAP.) The ability to do everything over one protocol instead of at least four—IMAP, SMTP, CalDAV and CardDAV—is one of the nice things about JMAP.

  Out of curiosity, have any of the major providers stepped up and talked about supporting JMAP yet, or demonstrated interest? As someone well out there in third party client land, I can't very well expect to find many JMAP clients out there for my random-given-platform if your Googles, Microsofts and Oaths(Yahoo/AOL) aren't on board. (Obligatory <3 FastMail)

    We have been speaking with engineers at most of the large mailbox providers and server developers for many years, and made changes to the JMAP spec based on their feedback to make sure it can work for them. You will also find feedback and contributions on the IETF mailing list from some of them. We can’t speak for another company’s product plans however.
