What are the optimizations in JMAP that make it faster than, say, Solid? Solid is built on a bunch of W3C Web, Security, and Linked Data Standards; LDP: Linked Data Protocol, JSON-LD: JSON Linked Data, WebID-TLS, REST, WebSockets, LDN: Linked Data Notifications. [1][2] Different worlds, I suppose.
There's no reason you couldn't represent RFC5322 data with RDF as JSONLD. There's now a way to do streaming JSON-LD.
LDP does paging and querying.
Solid supports pubsub with WebSockets and LDN. It may or may not (yet?) be as efficient for synchronization as JMAP, but it's definitely designed for all types of objects with linked data web standards; and client APIs can just parse JSON-LD.

JMAP: JSON Meta Application Protocol

Is there a OpenAPI Specification for JMAP?
There are a bunch of tools for Swagger / OpenAPIs: DRY interactive API docs, server implementations, code generators:

Does JMAP support labels; such that I don't need to download a message and an attachment and mark it as read twice like labels over IMAP?
How does this integrate with webauthn; is that a different layer?
(edit) Other email things: openpgpjs; Web Key Directory /.well-known/openpgpkey/*; if there's no webserver on the MX domain, you can use the ACME DNS challenge to get free 3-month certs from LetsEncrypt.
