It's close enough to how Dovecot works internally (although we'd still need the threading support) and also at least attempting to become a standard. We haven't really started it yet though, so now would be a good time to give any alternative suggestions or complaints about jmap :) Oh, you were thinking about ability to provide IMAP/etc support for other random servers, and have Dovecot act as kind of a middleware and translate the requests. Maybe the answer is still jmap though? It would require jmap lib-storage backend similar to imapc, which would be doable, although not really something we're right now planning to implement.

Let me say that I think it's really cool that you're adding support for JMAP. This will make it possible for front-end developers to build webmail or mail-aware applications right on top of dovecot, instead of first having to build a server-side middleware layer between IMAP and the application. Question: some time ago you mentioned that you were going to work on caldav/carddav support. What is the status of that, and will the calendar/contacts database be available over JMAP as well? Thanks, Mike.

You could already implement these with mail-filter plugin. The locally stored mail would be just an object pointer, which the mail-filter plugin reads from the remote storage. Although I think mail-filter is lacking error handling right now. > Intermixing several systems into one (like merging two IMAP accounts into one) etc. If I bothered to implement per-namespace imapc-settings, this could be done with virtual plugin. > Some of these are very costly to develop in Dovecot, while just a few lines in -say- Python or go. I think it might not be that easy. Although I've made lib-storage backends easier and easier to implement, it's still not exactly trivial. Implementing it behind some API could simplify it somewhat, but it wouldn't really remove all the difficult work that needs to be done. For example some backends might want to be read-only, others read-write. Some might want Dovecot to store all the message flags and other metadata locally, while others might want to store it themselves (and that would require two-way syncing between them). Some backends would support searching, fetching some headers fast and in general support different kinds of optimizations, while others wouldn't. The imapc backend is of course already implementing a lot of this functionality, but it's also getting complex. The backend would also have to guarantee some things to be compatible with IMAP, mainly never modifying existing mails. One alternative might be to add scripting support to Dovecot. I've been thinking about that several times over the years. So instead of implementing plugins with C, you could implement them with Python or some other language. Long time ago I tried to do this with SWIG, but it didn't work out. The main problem was function pointers in structs, but nowadays those aren't directly called and I think it could be implemented a bit differently.
