IMAP is antiquated and suboptimal with today’s clients and use cases.

You still send data through a TCP port, there is not much difference. Yes the protocol is in itself different, but that's expected - it's a different protocol after all.

Very trustworthy coming from the site that advocates that protocol. But I agree with some points.

Even a cursery look into my languages Wikipedia notes that IMAP compared to JMAP is statefull and verbose which causes problems with mobile clients. Can you do some research on your own?

Kinda disagree with that. IMAP Idle works just fine for mobile.
