- thanks, we’re glad you like it.
- We plan “sync over wlan feature” where you can just scan a qr code to transfer your backup/settings.
- For people which don’t use multi device it wastes imap space (many people have only restricted space on their imap account).
- most people like to have it on by default. Though I personally think its a social problem when this ends up in an “I saw that you read that message, WHY AREN’T YOU RESPONDING???”
- I agree, If you like to help with feel free to propose changes. If you want you can even edit the faq on github, there is also an offline version of it integrated within the apps. Some information could also be presented in the device chat, as example it should remind you to enable BCC-Self when it detects multi device usage (that should be already implemented AFAIK).
- We know and are planing to have multiple accounts fetching messages at the same time, though there are still some open UX/Design questions around this.
- thunderbird 68 with autocrypt plugin (old thunderbird, they broke the existing plugins in their new 70 version) Is the only one I tested, I really hope that TB gets their act together and adds complete autocrypt support soon. the list on the autocrypt page might be also helpful Autocrypt-capable MUAs level 1 implementation status — Autocrypt 1.1.0 documentation
- you can export them in the settings, they are also included in normal backups
- known bug in deltachat desktop.
- In android it takes the profile picture of the android address book afaik (if that wasn’t removed, @Hocuri knows probably more about this), also there is a feature proposal about defining custom avatars for contacts in this forum: Optionally using of remote or local profile picture
- (desktop) If there is an network error it should show an info box in the bottom left corner:
DeltaChat does use imap idle, that means it is connected always to the imap server and pulls in messages as soon as the email server receives them. But sure there is still more work to do to make it nicer, we also want to get rid of the red error toasts eventually and maybe post them into the device chat. Anyways that’s a topic for another forum thread. - (desktop) when it detects it is offline it shows the “offline box” as described in
11.and you can click on “try connect now” to notify the core to try fetching the messages again.
Otherwise the upcoming version also checks the connection on window focus and as a “hidden” option also when you pressF5. I also think there is more to do to make the error handling nicer for users.
At the moment the best force refresh option is to restart the app. - if you have an GitHub account please report such desktop issues on Issues · deltachat/deltachat-desktop · GitHub
- (desktop) what should the feedback be in your opinion?
- DeltaChat can only move messages when it is active, use server side filter rules for moving if you want it more reliable. DC gets killed sometimes by android/iOS, so its not always active.
