More and more I am looking through @Delta Chat apps and resources I believe this should become number one messenger of choice for screen reader users.
The developers are constantly improving its #a11y. It's secure from the start of using.
Additionally the desktop chat has under gone an #accessibility audit and accessibility issues are clearly documented in public.
I am not sure other messenger style app on the planet has such dedicated commitment to accessibility ever.

We recently got an accessibility quick scan from HAN. They took some time to discuss/test the app with us in a call and gave us a report. treefit and wofwca also made notes during the call, this is...

I also have an Android, Mac, Windows, and if I make linux work, I will have too many things and it'd be fun to try it on. Should be a fun little experiment. I sent you a dm, and asked you a few things so we don't spam. LOL

@Erion Yes, SMTP port 25 for server to server communication is a protocol requirement that is not possible to substitute I am afraid. In the readme of the @Delta Chat #chatmail relay they are recommending to use a cheap VPS to host the whole thing or route the public IP address to your home using VPN.

it's correct that the current chatmail relays require port 25 to be reachable. There are some discussions around other server-to-server transports, reflected in github.com/chatmail/relay/issu… even if mostly talks about Tor. The email system is traditionally pretty flexible about transports, especially server-to-server ones. There are also some deployments that use uucp for long range radio based transporting between MTAs.

We want to be able to accept mails from .onion domain. We cannot have DKIM authentication as there is no support for DNS (see https://forum.torproject.org/t/mock-dns-records-for-onion-services/4671...

@clv0 My biggest problem adopting this is, I can't find a reliable, IMAp-compatible mail provider who wouldn't ban me after five minutes for trying, in their eyes, fishy apps. Any tips?

@clv0 Yes, it works great for chatting between Delta users. I was hoping, however, that I might be able to chat with my regular e-mail contacts, using Delta as a more convenient interface to achieve that while they use whatever they usually do to access their emails. I believe the default server requires authentication on both sides so Delta needs to be used on both ends.

@clv0 Which is where my problem kicks in. I was the most successful with Onet, one of the biggest and best known Polish providers, however they banned my newly created account instantly after noticing I was chatting from Delta, no doubt sensing suspicious activity.

@Paweł Masarczyk @Cleverson I know you are looking for a way to stay in contact with people you are already connected to using traditional email. Still I would recommend creating a #chatmail account on your relay of choice just for testing so you can start with an empty profile and you'll get to experience the @Delta Chat the way it has been meant to. Then as an exercise continue with other more advanced scenarios such as classic email login.
The #chatmail based onboarding is really very simple, there is nothing to do wrong.

@patricus @clv0 @Piciok you will need to share an invite link because the email address it not enough to establish end-to-end encrypted communication. You can get the invite link behind the QR code button. Moreover, we suggest to send such an invite link privately, to prevent abuse by anyone joining a chat ;)

@patricus @clv0 @Piciok you can post the invite link publically but some of the MITM-protection guarantees that invitelinks provide degrade then. In this case, somewhere deep in a Fediverse thread limiting visibility of the post to "mentioned users only" would do it.
