That's what I have been looking for. Is there already an open source imap2jmap server? Again, thank you for these four letters: jmap. That was what I had on my mind.

JavaScript running on in browser or mobile phone can't connect to IMAP/SMTP. AFAIK you can't sent a link/URL to a mail on a shared folder to a friend. Like "Hi bob, she loves me.
