That much i had understood. The question that crossed my mind was
just what features etc. you need. For example, we cannot simply
pass a mail to some consumer, and we do also not support the nmh
storage format, so either of an intermediate MBOX or Maildir
storage is required. But of course you can do things like
s-nail -A my_account -Y 'file IMAP-ACCOUNT' \
-Y 'copy :n %' -Y quit || exit 1
to get new mail copied over to your local $MAIL, and the ||exit
clause will become increasingly reliable. Anything better has to
wait until after v15, which hopefully comes, somewhen.

Tja, thanks for the thanks, that mailx renaming will take some
time. And gpg will not happen before, i hope this summer. And of
course that has nothing to do with nmh integration then, you would
need to compose and view messages from within the (then still
pretty much restricted) MUA.
Maybe funnily, just this day i have seen the first time a message
generated by Cyrus-JMAP/3.1.7 (on a FreeBSD list). I would expect
the JMAP protocol to join mail and calendar and contacts under an
umbrella protocol series, and thus turn IMAP into a vintage thing,
maybe even fast. (And even though a new IMAP revision is to be
expected this year, i think.)
