Very interesting: > JMAP is not designed around a persistent network socket, so it’s perfect for webmail clients that connect, do stuff, then disconnect This would allow implementing JMAP in serverless architecture, e.g. self hosting on AWS lambda. That should be very cheap and significantly lower the barrier to self hosting (not needing to manage a box, just providing aws credentials). Think of what it takes to truly decentralise email. There are technical hurdles, but also some fundamental ones: - other providers mark you as spam because you’re unknown - you need an always on server to actually get your incoming mail This would at least solve the second problem. If we can develop a product like mailinabox (Which has its flaws but it’s the right idea), but instead of asking for a fresh vm, it just asks for aws credentials, that could be pretty solid. Hopefully one day we can give the people back their control over their means of communication. This seems like a step in the right direction!
