Valued Team, developer, user,

as suggested by good master Simon:

Overseen again, and maybe good to change it: backup needs to be made for each email account separately. Something easy oversen, even if gotten known about.

Good idea, feel free to open a feature proposal for that here on the forum.

Maybe sometimes a backup for a single account is of use, but generally surely more secure to fetch all accounts one has created. Maybe a select-option, with all as defalt, matches both.

Much joy with good undertaking, also here.

I also several times forgot to backup my other accounts when switching between different development versions.

There is also a related thread about multiple accounts support:

Support for multiple accounts/profiles - requirements

This text will be hiddenRequirements on support for multiple accounts I got directed here to this forum from https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/pull/1298 to gather, discuss, manage, and triage. Let’s start with that here. DONE Initial multi account support - see Multi accounts/profiles support - where the goal was to switch between accounts (i.e. no parallel access, no notifications from more than one account at a time). See the corresponding pull request (“PR”) No. 1298. PEN…

The core already has account manager, but it is only used in (highly experimental) KDeltaChat. We should probably extend the account manager to manage backups, maybe even packing all accounts into one backup file.

Aside of backup: Running multiple account is like using multiple apps currently, so very disconnected (notifications, search,…) even to know which account currently using is difficult.
