Who uses JMAP besides FastMail?
And they don't have any incentive to move to this.
Perhaps for individuals and small businesses, but certainly not for large organizations, many of whom are running their own Exchange (or whatever else) servers.
Unlikely, but seems plausible to me.
It seems like a wasted opportunity to not make E2EE a primary focus of a new email standard. Hopefully there will be standard extensions down the road to add this if JMAP takes off.
Some aspects of JMAP haven't made it through the standards process yet, like calendars, quotas, and server-side S/MIME signature verification. Hopefully it will get wider implementation from the big email companies once those are complete.
