[jira] [Created] (JAMES-3516) [GSOC-2021] Implement Thread support for JMAP

Benoit Tellier created JAMES-3516:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: [GSOC-2021] Implement Thread support for JMAP
                 Key: JAMES-3516
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-3516
             Project: James Server
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: elasticsearch, JMAP, mailbox
            Reporter: Benoit Tellier
            Assignee: Antoine Duprat


h3. Why ?

Mail user agents generally allow displaying emails grouped by conversations (replies, forward, etc...).

As part of JMAP RFC-8621 implementation, there is a dedicated concepts: threads. We did implement JMAP Threads in a rather naive way: each email is a thread of its own.

This naive implementation is specification compliant but defeat the overall purposes of threads.

I propose myself to mentor the implementation of Threads as part of the James JMAP implementation. 

See: https://jmap.io/spec-mail.html#threads
