COI – Chat Over IMAP
I would argue that every user wants E2E, they just don't know (enough) about it. E2E should be the default.

It can’t be default because the protocol is degradable by design. I would agree that they could advocate a method to harmonize all COI-aware IMAP servers. But it’s hard to get E2E encryption in a heterogeneous, legacy environment.

Support for S/MIME encryption is pretty ubiquitous at this point, right? There are practical issues with CAs, but nothing insurmountable.

Not even close to ubiquitous.
