I’d like to raise awareness of the [JSON Meta Application Protocol (JMAP)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON_Meta_Application_Protocol). It is a modern version of IMAP and SMTP with the goal of overcoming the issues with these protocols.

I think especially the advertised [ease of use for developers and improved experience for mobile users](https://www.ietf.org/blog/jmap) make this protocol interesting for implementation in Delta Chat.
