@buildscientist let me put my 5 cents here :) 1) RESTful API is needed for java clients as client and mailserver could reside on different hosts. 2) RESTful API following HATEOAS - this is nice of course, but from my perspective, it would be cool to start with a simple one in api v1 :) 3) Swagger is nice for huge constantly evolving APIs ... here I see < 7 methods. Wouldn't it be an overkill?

I'm all for the feature and ready to put some effort to get something simple and check will it be useful for somebody else :)
