So is this using COI protocol? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19216077 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19216077

  As specs says it uses IMAP as Transport it's a CoI based messenger. https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/blob/master/standards.md#standards-used-in-delta-chat https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/blob/master/s...

    Could be the other way around -- CoI is based on Delta Chat? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19216346 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19216346

      I don't think so. Delta Chat seems a system running 'Chat over ICMP', so CoI goes on protocol layer, while Delta Chat goes on application layer.

        Where do you see that Delta Chat uses ICMP ?
        • elvecinodeabajo 8y ago
          LOL. My bad. Its Chat over IMAP.

            It sounds like CoI took (tempted to say hijacked) a subset of Delta Chat (protocol subset), something that was already shipping and working, and merely rebranded it.

              Delta Chat is just a CoI client, as CoI webpage says. "Thanks to Delta Chat Core, as a client developer you do not even need to deal with IMAP directly." https://www.coi-dev.org/ https://www.coi-dev.org/
