Is it possible to use Email.js to create a JMAP email client?

If you're using JMAP, you don't need email.js.

The (current) email.js family of libraries implement IMAP and SMTP
clients and MIME parsing and generation. One of the very nice things
about JMAP is that it eliminates the need to deal with MIME parsing and
generation. And of course if you're not speaking IMAP or SMTP you don't
need those libraries either.

You can use libraries to access JMAP, see http://jmap.io/software.html
for an example of some. But arguably they're thinner libraries or are
implementing abstractions that exist at a higher level than email.js
provides.
