ChatMail? Questions from a Classic DeltaChat User

@r10s

they do not need to worry about GDPR, as this is within required timespans

What does the GDPR say about this? Do different rules apply depending on if you store data for more than 3 weeks or less than 3 weeks?

I noticed that at some point the default chatmail relay significantly reduced the timespan, although I don’t know exactly when this happened and I have wondered what was the reason for the change, since larger timespans have the advantage of reducing the possibility of missing any messages. Was the timespan reduced due to GDPR?

seems like this would be a great opportunity for a WXDC to do key look up for composing a new PGP message

Webxdc apps don’t have internet access, so I don’t know how they’d do a key lookup.

@r10s

that said, i am not sure if chatmail gets encrypted with protonmail, i did not tried that. but with using a classic email account in Delta Chat, we have reports it work.

if you have the public key from someone, you can use eg. .asc to vCard

Do you know if it would be enough for one person to have the other person’s key to establish two-way encrypted messaging (and the other key is sent automatically like SecureJoin) or would both people need to have the key of the other person?
