I’m pretty sure I’ve seen an open source project that uses email as an encrypted chat app in the last months. Edit: this one https://news.ycombinator.com/item?

  Interesting - thanks. It looks like at least the Android and iOS apps have been updated in the last few days - so it is under active development: https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-ios https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-ios Doesn't work with all email providers though, from their FAQ: https://providers.delta.chat/ https://providers.delta.chat/ Proton mail isn't supported (I'm guessing because of the way Proton encrypts your email at rest?).

    AFAIK they recommend using a dedicated chatmail-enabled provider to avoid problems with using a "normal" email provider. https://delta.chat/en/chatmail https://delta.chat/en/chatmail
