Reading through the JMAP website [0], I'm actually wondering whether whoever's behind JMAP has looked at GraphQL. There seem to be a lot of similarities (especially the "why not REST" section).

Work on JMAP likely started before GraphQL was publicly released.

I think Fastmail are the primary ones behind JMAP: https://fastmail.blog/2014/12/23/jmap-a-better-way-to-email/

Yep. Also I think they are using it for a subset of customers. While JMAP support in Cypht is still new, so far it's working just like IMAP, but my testing is limited since I just wrote the integration :)
