This is great news. The uncoupling of profiles from a single server (by connecting you to three at once) means your account can’t be shut down just because the admin abandons it or tries to censor you.
It’s also essentially not been email at all for a long time, at least not in the conventional sense, so this abandonment of the unencrypted part is fine. Unlike Signal, “you can read all your normal emails here too” was hardly a sticking point
I upvoted your comment, but I would like to note that I strongly disagree with the “Unlike Signal, (…)” part.
Can I elaborate on that last bit?
What I meant was that Signal once supported SMS messages, and it was easy to encourage people to use it because it did double-duty with regular and encrypted messages. When they dropped SMS, there was (rightful IMO) fear that this would cause a reverse network effect where people would abandon Signal and return to stock or Google SMS messaging apps.
To my knowledge, Delta Chat was never sold as an email client that could also do encrypted messaging.
Why do you share a third-party article instead of linking the original blog post by DeltaChat themselve?
