JMAP : New mail protocol - light, fast, battery friendly !!

Hi Guys,

Well, here is a new Mail Protocol, JMAP, based on JSON and furthermore completely OPEN - developed be FastMail a supplier of Mailboxes.

Here is what the site, http://jmap.io , says about it :

JMAP is a transport-agnostic, stateless JSON-based API for synchronising a mail client with a mail server. It is intended as a replacement for IMAP. The specification is based on the API currently used by FastMail ’s web app. It aims to be compatible with the IMAP data model, so that it can be easily implemented on a server that currently supports IMAP, but also allows for reduced data usage and more efficient synchronisation, bundling of requests for latency mitigation and is generally much easier to work with than IMAP.

My guess is that it could do wonders for our mobile battery driven devices !

Any plans on implementing this protocol in Zoho Mail ?

Best Regards

Happy New Year,

Richard
