We need better client support for JMAP. Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook (as if), and so on. I'm surprised some of the smaller ones like Canary or Spark don't implement it as a product differentiator.

Serious question: what’s the differentiator if major email providers don’t support it?

(This should not be interpreted as a defense of IMAP.)

I'd make a reasonable guess that it enables much better Javascript clients, either via Electron or the Web Browser.

You don't need major providers to support it, they support SMTP and that's how messages are relayed. JMAP is just so you: the client, can fetch your mail from wherever you host your mail.
