if they pull out the AI stuff that'll be soooo cool :D

What AI stuff are you referring to? I just learned about this project from this blog post, so I don't have the full context on their AI work.

It seems the enterprise edition has AI features and the community version doesn't. So if you don't want AI, use the community version.

While JMAP seems to scratch every itch of a sucker for proper web API design, I’m wondering if the design space for new protocols should really be constrained to layers on top of HTTP. Is there really any new-ish binary protocol these days? Stuff like file sharing or groupware, mail, calendars, and so on—these things could be a lot more efficient and don’t really need the overhead of JSON as the message interchange format, IMHO. Then again, a lot of solid thinking went into these things, so there probably are a lot of good reasons that I’m not aware of.

Still, it’s an interesting space, I think.

It’s such a breeze to self-host your own email server using Stalwart. It has been a new era for email self-hosters like myself since these kind of fully integrated email servers like Stalwart appeared. Another good one but not as actively maintained is Maddy.

Yes, are there any decent JMAP web mail client that we can use?

I have asked sooo many times since Stalwart first was introduced, but not got a straight answer. It is just FastMail or Topicbox. I want something like roudcoube or wildduck that can be used over https that I can self-host!

For those needing to deal with customers/clients/internal teams with Google Workspace/Outlook and wanting JMAP-style (though not JMAP) modern JSON APIs, Nylas might be a viable option: https://www.nylas.com/

Nylas pricing has gotten better recently, but is still quite high though - at $1.50/connected account/month at scale, it's likely material to your per-user margin if it's part of your SaaS offering.

But if you have a use case where this is a no-brainer (like capturing/analyzing/building custom real-time UI around your internal sales team's emails) then it's remarkably powerful.
