JMAP is still young; just wait until a plethora of non-interoperable optional extensions get added.

However bad this is, it's better than a plethora of non-interoperable optional IMAP extensions!

Sigh... this is why implementing IMAP is a beast... Also doesn't cover what Exchange/Office 365 adds to the mix.

I'm happy to see a newer standard that is at least simpler to understand and implement.

Unfortunately Exchange adds almost nothing to the mix, they support only a bare minimum of imap extensions (only literal+ if i remember correctly) and much stuff is not supported

Yeah, at least all the current extensions of IMAP will be covered.
