Subject: [Imap-protocol] If Crispin were creating IMAP today how would it be
	different?
Message-ID: <54FAEB94.4070508@lavabitllc.com>

I thought this might be a good list to ask a simple, but admittedly
subjective question: If Mark Crispin was creating IMAP from scratch, in
the world of today, would it still be a line based protocol like it was
with RFC3501, or would he have gone with something more stateless, like
a JSON-RPC paradigm, like JMAP?

For quick reference:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3501

Or JMAP:

http://jmap.io/spec.html

Or my own bastardized protocol used for webmail to server access, which
I created a few years back:
