It's interesting how there is now

* Maddy: https://github.com/foxcpp/maddy

* Mox: https://github.com/mjl-/mox

* and Stalwart

which all see to aim for more or less the same niche. I wonder if we'll see two of those merge eventually.

Maddy and Mox are written in Goo, but Stalwart in Rust. So perhaps the first two, but unlikely the last.

They're written in Go, but I think I like the concept of a language called Goo. Maybe they should've named it that instead.

Goo is a nice name for object-oriented Go.

Only Stalwart supports JMAP, which imo is the future of mail/calendar/contacts client-server communication.

It seems JMAP isn't universally loved, see for instance the spirited discussion in [0], although I've no direct experience.

My Maildirs "justed worked" though, and have been moved across dozens of servers - not to mention worked in so many different filesystems - over the years.
