It is used by Fastmail (who was also developers of the standard)
I think it is not a great idea to say that it is not a good idea to not implement things that no one uses, because that is a certain way to not make more people use it.
There are some servers that support it such as Stalwart [0], though I don't know about any older servers and/or clients that support it well.

- tankerkiller125 4y agoUntil Dovecot and systems like it support JMAP, I don't see it gaining the critical mass it needs to succeed.
- lucideer 4y agoWell I can't see Dovecot devs deciding to implement it if they keep reading comments like this dissuading the effort...
- catiopatio 4y agoWhat advantage would they gain by implementing it?
- lucideer 4y agoThere's three considerations (a) is IMAP good / sufficient / fit for purpose (b) if not, is there a better alternative available (c) if there is, is it worth the development effort to support it. If we assume the answers to (a) & (b) are NO & JMAP, then the benefits are included in those answers & only question remaining is (c). The person I was replying to seemed to be only arguing that the answer to (c) is NO.
- tracker1 4y ago(a) No (b) JMAP (c) Long term, probably.
