Hello Joris

Although I'm late with this reply, I'd also like to give my votes to
Andrea's suggestion. I think it might be the best option to make the JMAP
server a stand-alone service because the full integration into Roundcube
might be tricky. For this you could make use of the Roundcube framework
which will give you direct and simplified access to Roundcube's datastore
as well as handy utilities for authentication (-> via imap), session
storage and caching. Long time ago we did something comparable (although
less complex) for Kolab's Freebusy API (see
https://git.kolab.org/diffusion/F/).

Serving contacts and basic setting from Roundcube should be easy using the
Framework and if you like fancy challenges you might even build a JAMP <>
IMAP bridge using Rouncube's IMAP client classes.

Good luck, we're looking forward to see your progress. And don't hesitate
to ask back if you need more help.
