UseCase: Snooze Mails

[guettli]

Hi,

I like the snooze feature of gmail. This way I can focus on the current mails.

Does JMAP enable such a feature?

This is not in the current JMAP specs, but could be standardised in an extension. Fastmail has already implemented a custom extension to add this to JMAP; we would be interested in standardising this if other mailbox providers want to get involved. The difficulty will be in the differences in exact semantics of how Snooze works between different platforms. It may not be possible to come up with a standard that multiple providers are willing to implement exactly.

@neilj thank you for being open. I am not familiar with the process. How to create an extension to the JMAP spec?

[neilj]

You would propose an extension to the JMAP WG at the IETF. More info on how to participate in the IETF can be found at https://www.ietf.org/about/participate/
