A list of all known Deltachat-core-library based clients: List of all known Client Projects
The encryption standard is called https://docs.autocrypt.org, which can be implemented also by other traditional email clients (autocrypt is openpgp + a way to distribute keys without a central key server).
A list of compatible clients can be found here: Autocrypt-capable MUAs level 1 implementation status — Autocrypt 1.1.0 documentation.
The other used standards are:
- chat-mail (Messenger functions): deltachat-core-rust/spec.md at main · deltachat/deltachat-core-rust · GitHub
- standards implemented by delta chat deltachat-core-rust/standards.md at main · deltachat/deltachat-core-rust · GitHub
- https://webxdc.org
Currently an email like ui is not a priority of Delta Chat, as the goal is to provide a messenger and adding a whole new “classical” not chats-based UI is out of scope.
However we are happy to answer questions and help other projects to implement the standards we use, so someone could make an email app that supports some of delta chat’s features.
Or if someone wants to convince us that it is a good idea to build it into DC, then fork it and do it → actions speak louder than ideas. (but I personally think that a whole new combined UI is not possible to do in a way that is still easy navigate for normies and cheap to maintain - though with that I only mean full UI, where I think dedicated app is better. I think we might add ability to set subject for emails and other compatibility features, just no completely different UI)
