This repo contains the specifications for JMAP. JMAP is a protocol specification intended to be a new standard for email clients to connect to mail stores. It therefore intends to primarily replace IMAP SMTP submission. It is also designed to be more generic such that it can be extended with contacts, calendars in the future (replacing CardDAV/CalDAV). It does not replace MTA-to-MTA SMTP transmission.

The pretty HTML version of the spec along with more JMAP info and resources can be found at http://jmap.io.

JMAP is being developed within the IETF by the JMAP Working Group.
