Are you basing this prediction on testing the current F-droid version (0.100)?
If DeltaChat
were worked with its own account, we were not here (Messenger
like WA, Viber, ... do it too, and xmpp work with its own Servers too).
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. 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?
We invested several weeks of efforts to support shared account usage.
True, it's not the only priority of development -- getting a Desktop
version out and migrating the UI codebase from unmaintainable Telegram
UI code to well workable Signal UI code was a major undertaking.
Releases were in fact delayed for some weeks by focusing and refining
Shared account usage, and the neccessary involved default moving logic.
Please report problems and bugs with shared account usage based on
the 0.100 version -- as precisely as you can. We'd like to stabilize
Delta/Android during february and then publish to G-Play store.
