JMAP: Like IMAP but Not Really
I really want to see some innovation in the email space. The landscape is like a sea of false promises and dashed dreams. SMTP is one of the bread-and-butters of the internet, yet it just doesn't seem to be moving forward (maybe that's for the best), and no one's building extensions on top of it.<p>Maybe I'm naive in thinking it was possible but we could have avoided this whole "make an account on X messenger so we can talk", if someone had just jammed XMPP and SMTP together.<p>Every few years I'm tempted to try and write a SMTP server (MX) myself but then realize that postfix has been around so long and is the go to choice <i>for a reason</i>. I don't have 20 years of figuring out how X mail server interprets SMTP to be as reliable as postfix. I settled for trying to wrap it[0].<p>[0]: <a href="https://gitlab.com/postmgr/postmgr" rel="nofollow">https://gitlab.com/postmgr/postmgr</a>
