My personal take is that JMAP would start being widely used if we had some simple Python/Go bindings to easily manipulate the emails.

My first reaction as I have seen this standard popping up was not "my email will be faster/better", but "I will be able to setup a nice [email protected]" email address and have both email/web integration with it.

If developers start to embrace JMAP for a derivative usage, I think it could drive the adoption.

I think one of the cooler 'derivative' uses is the integration between fastmail and 1password via "masked email".
