    Cool, I’ve installed it so fingers crossed I’ll be able to get some other family members onto it. Thanks for the info!

      The app allows to easily add multiple profiles and switch between them, besides the classic email profile, you can tap in your avatar at the top left of the chat list and add a chat profile for secure encrypted chatting, and join a community group for testing and asking questions about delta chat:

        Thanks, I’ve found that. So far I’ve created one of the built-in accounts (seems to be on the testrun.org domain) and added my own existing email. I sent a message to my dad using my email, let’s see if I get any reply! Also curious to see what happens when I get other email such as marketing spam. I suppose each one will show up as a new chat.

          Spam from the same address will appear as a single chat, and you can block the contact and never receive more spam from that address

          Since spammers constantly change address you might what to tweak the “show classic email” option in Advanced settings, if you set it to “accepted contacts only” only classic email from contacts you have accepted a chat already will show up in Delta Chat so contact requests from new contacts will no show up, which is perfect if you only want your dad’s messages to appear in the app
