Hello!

First I'm very happy to report I have been successfully using
https://github.com/iNPUTmice/lttrs-android on top to (a slightly
modified james server). This leads to the following code changes:
https://github.com/linagora/james-project/pull/4089

An incompatibility was found: In James we so far mandate the core
capability on every API calls, in addition to extra capabilities (mail,
submission for instance). For my experiments, I relaxed this
requirements. I also think that in doubt clients can always position
this capability to avoid issues.

However my question is: as a server, should I reject api requests not
using `urn:ietf:params:jmap:core` in the using field?

Thanks for answer ;-)
