I don't really have any specific opinion on this matter. I don't really know
of any other provider outside of Fastmail that uses JMAP, but it *is* a
published IETF standard around RFC2822 messages, so it makes sense to use it
for this purpose.

I was wondering if lei should be part of the same suite as public-inbox proper
as opposed to a standalone (or interdependent) client tool. Unless I'm
mistaken, someone running a public-inbox origin or mirror server wouldn't
necessarily be an active lei user. Decoupling them from each-other would allow
different release cadence, no?

Please take care!

Thanks for your effort on this project.

Best,
