Actually, I suggest that IMAP is no longer the 'modern' one. While I
am not seriously suggesting the new TBird shouldn't support IMAP, I
suggest JMAP support be made a mandatory criteria. JMAP is designed
to provide all of the advantages of IMAP, while addressing most if
not all of its shortcomings:<br>

Both Cyrus (3+) and Dovecot (2.3+) are primed to support it, and
there is a Thunderbird bug to add support for it:<br>
