Re: Fwd: Request to form a new WG: JMAP

In addition to my earlier comments, I agree with everything in
Ned's note (the two sets of comments seem to be complementary).
Also, please note:

4409 has been obsolete for five years now, implying that the
submitters of this proposal have some reading and other homework
to do.   RFC 6409 should be the reference here.

In addition, I'd add to Ned's comment about end to end
encryption the observation that it is particularly important for
webmail and similar models because users or many such services
may have reason to not trust their email service providers (at
one end or the there) with message content.
