How is this any different than the risks present in current mechanisms
(websockets, HTTP, MAPI, IMAP, etc.)? I don't see this as a new risk being
introduced by the JMAP protocol.

Of course sharing mailboxes between multiple users (one of the

Again, this is not a new risk being introduced by JMAP. It seems unfair to
saddle the JMAP protocol with the responsibility of documenting a
comprehensive set of privacy and security risks for bad or risky behaviours
that have been a wide part of common practice for decades.
