Details

The JMAP Protocol is an IMAP-compatible attempt at creating a standard around the email. http://jmap.io/ What is JMAP? 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.
JMAP is awesome, but note that there's not actually any JMAP servers out there at this time. fastmail.fm currently is using a precursor to JMAP: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/jmap-discuss/w3SR5HRZu5o/Sriyt_mN0DgJ
