The JSON Meta Application Protocol (JMAP) for Mail
Abstract
This document specifies a data model for synchronising email data
with a server using the JSON Meta Application Protocol (JMAP).
Clients can use this to efficiently search, access, organise, and
send messages, and to get push notifications for fast
resynchronisation when new messages are delivered or a change is made
in another client.
