The JSON Meta Application Protocol for Mail
RFC 8621, “The JSON Meta Application Protocol for Mail”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2019 by N. Jenkins, C. Newman. It updates RFC 5788. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies a data model for synchronising email data with a server using the JSON Meta Application Protocol (JMAP). Clients can use this to efficiently search, access, organise, and send messages, and to get push notifications for fast resynchronisation when new messages are delivered or a change is made in another client.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
