We need better server support first.

I’ve got a friend who’s been pitching me on building a new email client for years. “I’ll do it if we exclusively use JMAP.” “okay does that include Gmail and Apple/iCloud accounts?” “Nope.”

I could sort of see dual-supporting Gmail's proprietary API and JMAP, but unless the #2-5 competitors support it… what’s the point? (sorry to put on the pessimism hat)
