Switch to relay [could delete and use old one for another profile]

Mutual Help
1

I switched from posteo.de to chat.vim.wtf. I now have both servers listed under “Relays”, but only vim.wtf is enabled.
My questions are:

  1. Can I delete posteo.de after some time?
  2. Can I use the posteo.de address again later to create another profile?
    Thx

Display a counter next to each relay showing how many contacts depend on it

In 2.47+ you can “hide” posteo.de so your contacts will not send messages there but you will still receive them in case contacts who don’t know yet that you have changed the address send messages to posteo.de. Then after some time when you are reasonably all contacts have your new address, you can remove posteo.de.

You can use posteo.de later to create another profile, but if you receive messages encrypted to the old key there, you will get errors about failure to decrypt the message.
