Split function "For accepted contacts" (classic emails)

[gerryfrancis]

After following up the discussion here

No messages shown in "contact requests"

Delta Chat version 1.8.1 F-Droid Expected behavior I expect a list of messages/mail addresses in the “contact requests” view. Settings > Chats and media > Show classic emails is set to “for accepted” contacts. It seems as if “contact requests” serves no purpose in this scenario? Or am I missing something? Actual behavior “Contact requests” view is empty, no mails or addresses shown. Thanks for DeltaChat, support and your work on software freedom!

I have gotten the idea to split up this function in two, to avoid missing contact requests from non-Delta Chat users:

• “For accepted contacts, ignoring new contact requests”
• “For accepted contacts, but allowing new contact requests”

I think the names are quite clear to understand the purpose of each function.

I think this is starting to get too messy with so many permutations /combinations.

Instead, split into functionality :
normal messages list,
Show
No show

contact requests list.
Show
No show

“For accepted contacts, but allowing new contact requests”

That is exactily what the option All(DC_SHOW_EMAILS_ALL) does.

show_emails = DC_SHOW_EMAILS_OFF (0)= show direct replies to chats only (default), DC_SHOW_EMAILS_ACCEPTED_CONTACTS (1)= also show all mails of confirmed contacts, DC_SHOW_EMAILS_ALL (2)= also show mails of unconfirmed contacts in the deaddrop.

Thanks for clarifying, @Simon , I thought “All” would not create contact requests, but it would start a new chat for each contact automatically.
