What?
Add multi-protocol email support by introducing a
backend.Providerinterface and implementing three backends: IMAP, JMAP, and POP3.Why?
Closes #301
Matcha only supports IMAP+SMTP. Users with JMAP providers (Fastmail, Stalwart, Cyrus) or POP3-only providers can't use it at all.
JMAP is the modern successor to IMAP — it's faster (batched JSON-over-HTTP, no connection-per-folder), has built-in push, and is growing in adoption. POP3 is still offered by many providers and is the only option for some older/smaller hosts.
The
Providerabstraction also makes it straightforward to add more backends in the future (e.g., Microsoft Graph for Outlook/O365) without touching the core TUI or command logic.
