I don’t understand why it took us 50 years to figure out how to do encrypted messaging-over-email. Anyone wanna swap email addresses?

When you send a message on signal, it gets delivered and then purged from all servers. Does Deltachat do this by default, and if not, can one user request the other user’s side delete messages on their servers?
Email also runs into a “server copy” problem that is not necessarily built into instant messaging, especially privacy oriented services: A server/servers will store separate copies of messages for all people in a conversation, making it twice as difficult to delete even if all sides of the conversation wish to delete it from the server.
this is my settings screen. it looks like you would need to actually ask your friends to turn on the server-side purging.
you’re asking more than i really know here. i haven’t even convinced any of my friends to use it. it was hard enough getting their email addresses lol.
I appreciate your commitment to responding to me, though 🙂 you knew more than I did
