At FastMail we’re hoping to implement snooze next year, as a first-party solution that doesn’t need the support of a client or third-party server.

There is no established convention or standard for representing snooze over IMAP. There’s not yet any consensus on how to represent it in JMAP, the emerging standard that we’re backing (and which our web UI will be using fairly soon), either. It’ll be a FastMail-specific JMAP extension at first, but it could well be standardised (though not in the core spec) after that. We’ll see how things go.

This sounds great - if you're interested in folks implementing the extension in third party clients, let me know!

That would be awesome. I'm trying transition off of Google services and this would help me a bunch. I love your product by the way <3

Which other parties are currently backing JMAP?

I haven’t been working on the JMAP stuff (I only started working there this year and I’ve been focusing on our new product Topicbox), so I’m not aware of all the details; but JMAP standardisation is going through the IETF, so you can see things that are happening with it at https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/jmap/documents/ and https://github.com/jmapio/jmap/issues.
