Format specification accounts.toml

Mutual Help
1

Hello and thanks for your support.

I am sorry that I can not provide any informations as stated in the template, since there is no such thing. Instead I will proceed providing information.

I am currently using ArcaneChat and DeltaChat on an AOSP-derived system. I would also like to use it on Desktop. Since npm is not an option and electron nothing less than a blatant offence to humankind, I went for dreamer. But it has no gui for account management. That I already had DeltaChat is what dreamer expects, I guess.

Therefore, I expect the format for the accounts.toml to be easily found in some documentation.

Thank you.

I would not use dreamer unless you are a developer that wants to maintain it. it uses an old core version that might bring compatibility problems when using it together with newer clients.

you can find out how that file works by reading the core source code: core/src/accounts.rs at 1ebaa2a7183b6b8a23c92fda31906cc36fa70990 · chatmail/core · GitHub

Also I’d expect dreamer to have account management ui and not to need manual config file edits, If I were you.

if you just hate electron, then you might me interested in the tauri version: deltachat-desktop/packages/target-tauri at main · deltachat/deltachat-desktop · GitHub
it still has npm, but no electron and is much better maintained than dreamer.

That being said I would personally appreciate if someone would continue to develop and maintain dreamer.
