Delta Chat version Delta Chat Desktop 1.56.0 (git: v1.55.0-17-g9a3b9942-prepare-release-1.56.0)
guys… where’s the instructions for old geezers??
i thought i could send a “chat” to an email address (gmail), and have it send a secure message to that person? but i don’t see how to do that? (note: the chats don’t have to be “live” back and forth, but should last a week or two or so?)
i am not signing into delta chat with my gmail, i got a delta chat email address to use it with.
am i doing it wrong?
… i just tried sending from my gmail to my delta email address. no message showed up. maybe i’m not understanding delta chat right.
To send to non-delta-chat/chatmail addresses you have 3 options:
you use a classical email address that was not created in delta chat and send from there
the recipient uses deltachat and you scan their qr code or use their invite link to establish contact.
chatmail/deltachat addresses only support sending and receiving encrypted emails.
Bring your own email account to chat with everyone that has email.
you can have as many profiles/accounts in the deltachat app as you like. Think of delta chat as an email client like thunderbird or the old outlook app before it was in the cloud.
