Delta Chat: The e-mail messenger

Submitted ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨federatingIsTooHard@lemmy.world⁩ to ⁨technology@lemmy.world⁩

I don’t understand why it took us 50 years to figure out how to do encrypted messaging-over-email. Anyone wanna swap email addresses?

  Why send messages (encrypted or not) across multiple providers that get to see who you are communicating with, when you are communicating, and how often you are communicating? (i.e. why not just use a dedicated messaging app that we know doesn’t suck?)
  
  who do you KNOW doesn’t suck? myself, i like disroot, but i still prefer to encrypt any comms that go across their services, because i can’t explicitly trust them. i don’t even (really) trust riseup.net. it’s always best to encrypt anything thats sensitive yourself and control the keys.

  What will this do to your traditional email inbox?
  
  if you are a deltachat user, it creates a directory for your deltachat messages. if not… you are strongly encouraged to use deltachat :P

  What about Protonmail or other email services that doesn’t directly connect to conventional email protocols?
  
  personally, i don’t trust protonmail, so i haven’t tried it, but i think… it just doesn’t work lol.

    What’s the issue with proton? Just the UI being a bit shit?

I really like Delta Chat as a concept. I’m not sure I could convince my friends to use it, as most of them struggle with signing on to email on anything other than a dedicated mail client from their providers.
