> I guess the reason is that DeltaChat recently switched to Show Classic E-Mails = “All” from “No, chats only”, so all emails have been already downloaded from Inbox after the setup is done

Thanks for this insightful reply! It seems I’m suffering from exactly the same issue discussed in the thread you referred to. So I guess I’ll just have to wait until DeltaChat’s default settings revert to what (IMHO) is reasonable for a messenger app and it doesn’t pretend any more to be an email client…

Regarding your question on how I set up the new device: I’m honestly not really sure, but I guess I used a backup of the old device automatically created by Android. (Thinking it over, I might try to re-install DeltaChat on the new device and then try one of the setup methods you mentioned.)

Cheers –
