The project has code you can try; virtually all of the work has gone into that, vs the website. An FAQ addressing the Q's posted here will be live on the site late on Jan 18th.

There's no inherent reason to have an identity separate from the one the site you're joining grants you. I'd guess that site is leveraging the effort which webmail providers spend to weed out bots and sock-puppets. And perhap

JMAP is an extension of the email protocol stack; it's fundamentally different than TMTP. (I'm the author of mnm.)

Email is in deep trouble, due to the cybercrime crisis, in which SMTP plays a leading role, enabling phishing. The only effective solution is to #banSMTP - i.e. block it on public networks.

If widely adopted, most TMTP clients would have concurrent logins to many servers at different sites. Your traffic isn't routed via a middleman like Facebook which everyone needs to join, and which scans your content for advertising pu
