Thanks for these hints :-)

Accidently I installed the two versions in parallel long in the past and found the

two icons. I didn't realized that there were really two independant instances!

The first step to multiple accounts with DC!

:-)

Yes, you can use both in parallel with different accounts.

Keep in mind that you need to update the manual installation manually
too.

Just download the .apk from https://delta.chat and install it.

As ADB already said: They look the same. I personally distinguish them
by the place on my home screen (left is DEV, right is fDroid).

What can I read here:

It is possible to use both versions "F-Droid" and "Dev" in parallel
at one device? Really?

This would open a chance to use two accounts with delta at one device
as long as no other possibility is there!

How to do that? Simple parallel installation?

There is no "sole purpose" to the account sharing than trying to
balance and adapt with what we perceive as user expectations.
We've had many discussions with people on and off line -- if there
would be one easy obvious solution we'd maybe go for it ;)  

And I, for one, would like to hear and discuss with these
people...where are they?

I am one of the people who advocated for shared account in the
offline discussions.
I use DeltaChat Dev with a dedicated account and DeltaChat FDroid
with a shared account. Works fine for me, so far. Neither account
is my "major" Mailing account with 1000+ Mails / Day and I don't
think that Delta is (or could be) a good MUA for accounts like this.

Personally I don't think there is the one silver bullet to fit all
needs (and as far as I understand everyone agrees to this). So if
something changes in DC in one way or another, some paths will be
opened and some will be closed.

But I am also a Dev and so I think any change to the status quo
should be made as a proposal on how it should behave, precisely. I
have not seen that yet in this thread so I abstained from
commenting (and am only doing so because you asked where "these
people" are).

If you want a specific behaviour then please specify it as
precisely as possible as a feature proposal that has the option of
being turned off for other people who don't like it. Please be
aware that Dev Time is a scarce resource so it might be that no Dev
picks it up and does your thing, happens for my things too. And
this is, in the end, how stuff is decided in projects like this and
also what Holger said: "seem interesting and relevant to us" and
later: "If folks join who want to develop on this the situation may
change"

This was what has been done in the current FDroid Release: We
discussed how a shared account could work, defined changes and made
toggles that turn this changes on or off.

Have a very nice day
