Fwd: Re: [Jmap] WG Review: JSON Mail Access Protocol (jmap) - reducing configuration complexity

2017-02-07 09:38:45
Trying to setup a new device for use with open protocols is a complete
nightmare - you end up needing to configure 2 things for mail (IMAP
and SMTP)

and now, because we will have to be backward compatible, it will be
three. so that third had best be a really massive win. and i am not
seeing it. what i am seeing is second system syndrome in a wrapper of
whatever today <http://airmail.calendar/2017-02-07%2012:00:00%20GMT>'s
wrapping fashion is.

Why?  You will either be using IMAP/SMTP to access your mail/submit your
messages or you will be using JMAP.  If you have the option of the latter,
you’ve just halved the number of things that need configuring.
