JSON Meta Application Protocol Specification (JMAP)
JMAP is the open protocol that replaces IMAP (and CardDAV and CalDAV). It’s faster, simpler, more powerful, and built for how email works today.
We’re Making Email More Modern With JMAP
The specifications for JMAP have been published by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), marking a big victory for email tools now and in the future.
The Golden Age Of Open Protocols - AVC
Protocols are a geeky topic. It’s way more interesting to talk about applications. People will go on and on about why they like gmail or some other email application. But not a lot of people get excited about SMTP and IMAP which are the underlying email protocols that allow the gmail application to talk to […]

The Rise and Rise of JSON
JSON has taken over the world. Today, when any two applications communicate with each other across the internet, odds are they do so using JSON. It has been adopted by all the big players: Of the ten most popular web APIs, a list consisting mostly of APIs offered by major companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter, only one API exposes data in XML rather than JSON.1 Twitter, to take an illustrative example from that list, supported XML until 2013, when it released a new version of its API that dropped XML in favor of using JSON exclusively. JSON has also been widely adopted by the programming rank and file: According to Stack Overflow, a question and answer site for programmers, more questions are now asked about JSON than about any other data interchange format.2
Gmail API overview | Google for Developers
The Gmail API is a RESTful API that can be used to access Gmail mailboxes and send mail. For most web applications the Gmail API is the best choice for authorized access to a user's Gmail data and is suitable for various applications, such as:

What i find interesting about this article is not the realization that MPI is like email, but the reverse, that human collaboration using messages is like MPI. The suggestion to use SMTP as a transport for things much more complex than emails is something worth looking at. It relates to my belief that the instant messaging difference does not come from the new protocols like XMPP for jabber, but from the new client interface that facilitates short messages in a conversational style. SMTP is equally (if not more) capable of transporting these messages. Sure, SMTP is not designed for "instant" messaging. but todays use of SMTP where my local SMTP server talks directly to your SMTP server, makes email is just as instant.

Maddy Mail Server implements all functionality required to run a e-mail server. It can send messages via SMTP (works as MTA), accept messages via SMTP (works as MX) and store messages while providing access to them via IMAP. In addition to that it implements auxiliary protocols that are mandatory to keep email reasonably secure (DKIM, SPF, DMARC, DANE, MTA-STS).
Email explained from first principles
Modern email is a patchwork of protocols and extensions. Here is one article to understand them all.
MessagePack: It's like JSON. but fast and small.
MessagePack is an efficient binary serialization format. It lets you exchange data among multiple languages like JSON. But it's faster and smaller. Small integers are encoded into a single byte, and typical short strings require only one extra byte in addition to the strings themselves.
What is Thundermail?
Thundermail is Thunderbird’s new privacy-focused email service. It's secure, reliable email hosting that works with Thunderbird and any other email client using standard protocols such as IMAP and ...
Introducing the HyperMap Stack
A brief introduction to HyperMap, a new RESTful API stack which supports client-side code execution
All-Purpose Machines
HyperMap is a new format for REST APIs that lets you execute JavaScript and WebAssembly on the client. This gives you access to modern Web APIs like WebSockets or fetch to build APIs that can dynamically update with asynchronous or streaming data, or even push whole computations closer to the data.

A macOS app that provides an MCP server to your Messages, Contacts, Reminders and more
I think you’ll find that building on Solid is challenging and it’s missing many things. I’ve been looking at JMAP jmap.io for the core if contacts, calendars, emails, notes, todos are the base. And yeah @joodaloop.com your visuals look great.
