It's not that Google insists, it's that IMAP is antiquated and JMAP doesn't fix it either. Same letter in multiple "folders" should've been added to IMAP/JMAP aeons ago.
- account42 4y agoSo why didn't google add it to IMAP when they added the feature to their mail system? There is no point in clients adding support for label-like folders if there is no server using that extension including the servers that do actually have labels. Gmail on the other hand is big enough that by now most non-Outlook clients would have picked up support.
- Avamander 4y agoBecause IMAP is not theirs to dictate. Maybe if someone standardised such an extension they'd add support. Considering how ossified email is, they rightfully have little interest to do it alone.
