That's exactly what a dedicated mode/account is: you need to go and open yet
*another* account for reliably using delta.

If you use your current mail account (shared mode) to log-in in delta, you
are very likely to encounter bugs and disrupt your mailbox which gets
filtered unreliably. Which is why developers started recommending using a
dedicated account.
Are you basing this prediction on testing the current F-droid version (0.100)? 
 
The great majority of people on this list have expressed perplexities on
this very recommendation and agree with you.

Unfortunately we've just finally come to know that it is not a priority to
mitigate this issue, so the only way to use delta is to create another
dedicated mail account.
Did you get my earlier mail that shared accounts are fully supported 
and that we think the moving logic has even improved? 
Yes, but improving the filtering/moving logic wasn't the main issue: as I already tried to make you notice (together with the other people which reported the same thing over and over mostly on the ephemeral IRC channel at the time) there has always been a big scope issue with delta-chat, resulting in erroneously taking over ownership of conversations.
So unless delta stops to act upon non-chat messages I don't see how you can prevent unreliable sorting in a mixed/shared account scenario.

If nothing has changed in this regard (I don't see anything related in the announcement), I wouldn't recommend people to use delta with an account sharing access with other MUAs.
