Curious how they will manage label compatibility with IMAP… if they will at all.
One possible approach would be only to support labels through the web interface, FastMail App and other JMAP enabled clients. Allowing IMAP clients to create new labels is tricky, and a solution that pretends labels are folders (as Gmail partly does) has some significant performance issues and tricky edge cases. JMAP has been designed with label support in mind.
