1.  Introduction

   JMAP ([RFC8620] - JSON Meta Application Protocol) is a generic
   protocol for synchronising data, such as mail, calendars or contacts,
   between a client and a server.  It is optimised for mobile and web
   environments, and aims to provide a consistent interface to different
   data types.

   MDN are defined in [RFC8098] and are used as "read receipts",
   "acknowledgements", or "receipt notifications".

   A client can have to deal with MDN in different ways:

   1.  When receiving an email, an MDN can be sent to the sender.  This
       specification defines an MDN/set method to cover this case.

   2.  When sending an email, an MDN can be requested.  This must be
       done with the help of a header, and is already specified by
       [RFC8098] and can already be handled by [RFC8621] this way.

   3.  When receiving an MDN, the MDN could be related to an existing
       sent mail.  This is already covered by [RFC8621] in the
       EmailSubmission object.  Client could want to display detailed
       information about a received MDN.  This specification defines a
       MDN/parse method to cover this case.
