if you (and your friends) control your (and their) keys, then the actual contents of your communications can’t be compromised. i think email is fine if you understand the limitations.

  i would never bother with anything that i consider to be highly secure over any clearnet service. but for keeping advertisers out of my messages or just run of the mill dragnets, or spot-censorship (like how facebook or others forbid certain links), i think deltachat is a really reasonable solution.
  
  but to this point:
  
  , it is inadvisable for privacy to keep data (even in an encrypted form) on a server post delivery.
  
  deltachat has an option to delete server-side.

    this is my settings screen. it looks like you would need to actually ask your friends to turn on the server-side purging.

    you’re asking more than i really know here. i haven’t even convinced any of my friends to use it. it was hard enough getting their email addresses lol.
