Hello,
I use several IM’s, sometimes/occasionally DeltaChat (DC). DC relies on the E-Mail-Protocol, therefore comes in handy when communicating with other peoples only using their e-mail-accounts… Yesterda i had a friend asking me how to use this app especially…When I tried to answer him in DC, I get an error about “connection refused io error os 111”. I repeated the manual account setting-up, still the same…
Then I connected DC with my sleepy co-existing google-account,
→ no problems so far, very annoyingly…
I also checked for general error-reasons as server-downtime at ecloud.global → not the case…
I had no problems at all using my normal e-mail-program “fair-email” but I wanted a second solution through DC connected to my /e/-account…
anyone an idea !??
Thanx,
npfp
Hallo tyxo,
thanx for your reply and trying out… Yes, I tried the manual setup for account-settings in DChat
-> unfortunately same negative result… Still, DChat works O.K. with my google-account (that I wish to quit in the long run…). Embarassingly, I get encryoted message-received acknowledgements in my /e/-account (as I configured a pass-through for all messages reaching my google-account)
Thanks for the suggestion. I will consider this.
One thing I forgot to mention. Setup via the /e/ email failed too. Login in the web interface works nicely.
hello again,tyxo,
…of course, I tried o uninstall/re-install, also proceeded as described howvto configure mail clients manually… Unfortunately, without success til now…
There is one step I haven’t tried yet:Downgrading the version of DChat (I know, an earlier version worked very well, then I paused using the app, then one or two updates occur…), I’ll inform on that later…
I just retied yesterday and it worked without any problems. That was all I did. Did you retry?
In 2019 there was a post by @GaelDuval who stated that DeltaChat is under consideration for inclusion in /e/ but seems this was abandoned or postponed.
On a sidenote. Haveing DeltaChat in /e/ would give users the option to receive push notifications about news, updates, problems and so on. Would be good to have such a thing considering the latest problems. However, I get the point regarding privacy (albeit I am not sure if this is an issue with DeltaChat Delta Chat: e-mail based messaging, the Rustocalypse and UX driven approach - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZNCpUlYEbI&t=16)
Hi,
…errors as described above persist in my case (using DC with a Samsung Xcover 4s, standard ROM, android 10)…
BTW, a very nice 5"-phone with user-replaceable battery and good overall performance…=> I’d like to see /e/-support, could be accomplished because of the obvious GSI-compatibility… [but I guess I should open another thread for that]
I have dropped a message with the link of this thread to support@e.email (via my account and delta chat). It appears that my message was read. Will keep you posted.
