RE: https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/@strypey/117199117270296551

Is this claim true? That is, are you deprecating legacy email servers for self-hosters as Strypey claims below?

Or is this just confusion over your non self-hosted free offering now using chatmail by default?

Already aware of the inbox change and dedicated account change, neither of which harm self-hosted legacy servers at all.

Thanks,

> Delta Chat only requires an email server

Apparently going forward it will require a dedicated ChatMail server.

> self-hosted E2EE and easy comms. You get full privacy and control and E2EE - that's a huge benefit over the other platforms you mentioned

Both XMPP and Matrix tick all these boxes. eJabberd, for example, gives you support for both with one server;

Delta Chat

@delta@chaos.social 59 min. ago

@oemb1905 No, we are not deprecating using self-hosted email servers with #deltachat ... there are in fact many different types of email servers in use today. However, using Delta Chat as a cleartext email client (especially when you have other email clients reading the same inbox) is not a goal anymore, at least since the V2 releases last year. It's all about end-to-end encryption and using servers in a simplified only-INBOX way, all standards based: https://github.com/chatmail/core/blob/main/standards.md
