On the server side, and more precisely on the interaction between the two,
I would love to see a simple Unix/command/CLI defined for the server. To make
myself clear, a bit like the notmuch CLI. This would allow for a greater
modularity and reusablity between components. For instance I would like to
index my mails with differents backends (disk is cheap), to get a way to
compare different tools on real data, when searching emails, and thus allow
to debug the different tools.
