Description

I'd like to create this issue for tracking of JMAP protocol support [1] progress/interest. I guess at some point JMAP protocol will be implemented by K9 Mail.

This time, JMAP is already implemented in few Mail servers, so wide adoption will probably follow soon.

Update: there is guide for client authors: https://jmap.io/client.html

Research direction

Start with the JMAP client-author guide linked in the issue and review how Thunderbird for Android currently handles mail protocols. Define the required implementation scope and acceptance criteria before locating code or tests; this issue currently tracks interest and progress rather than naming an entry point or a test for completion.
