I hope this service will use JMAP and push the Thunderbird client itself to adopt it

  Yes! I'm a fastmail user and every couple of months I do a survey of JMAP support and come back disappointed. Speaking about thunderbird, I liked their UI redesign, but it seems they are taking away quite a bit of plugin capabilities, e.g. there used to be the possibility to run firenvim (a plugin to run neovim in the compose window), but that's not possible anymore.

  > The final launch will be Thundermail, an email hosting service using the open-source Stalwart stack. Users will be able to pick between thundermail.com and tb.pro domains. If the article is correct, Thundermail will be built using Stalwart[1], which appears to support JMAP [1]: https://stalw.art/ https://stalw.art/

  Is it just JMAP, or why does Fastmail's web app feel so fast? I have moved away from all locally running mail apps to Fastmail and even fetch/alias all my other mail accounts to them because of the much better experience.

    Probably partially because of JMAP, partially because they have a single mission and know when to leave well enough alone

    Because most working web developers actually have no idea how to write JS; they follow what is presented (perpetuated) as industry standard practice, but in a React-and-NPM world, "industry standard practice" means bad practices.
