Hi All,
first of all I strongly support the idea of Enrico:
The beautiful idea of Deltachat is that You can use it with your
*existing* mail account and present and use email simply in a new and
easier presentation form for most simple use cases.
Sure, we are not trying to destroy the "shared account" mode.
Yet it's hard to deny that it comes with implementation, battery,
network and user-expectation-mismatch costs.
There should not be any additional workload (wall!)
for users around
to use it, even in collaboration with a standard mail client.
Especially that shared usage is in my eyes the fundamental new approach
and advantage of Deltachat!
It's one good starting vector, yes. But there are also many people who use
dedicated delta accounts -- eg without any official recommendation in one
group i am part of (18 people) 13 of them happen to have a dedicated account.
I don't claim this is representative of wider usage but it's also
not simply a "given" that re-using and sharing an existing e-mail account
is how "everybody" would like to see it.
Maybe one of the most important thoughts not yet
verbalized clearly, I
see from all the discussions at github and here:
Deltachat should *not* try to be an email client which tries to handle
and manage any complex folder structure at IMAP server!
This makes development, IMAP communication and sync for multi client
usage more complex than needed!
fully agreed! We call this now the "single-folder" milestone and
created/grouped
some ongoing discussions/issues into it:
