It would be very nice to have the possibilty in the Sailfish OS native message app to chat via an e-mail account, similar as delta chat (Delta Chat, decentralized secure messenger - Delta Chat) does.

Delta Chat is FOSS so this should not be too complex. The Android version of Delta Chat works perfect on SFOS Appsupport. A native SFOS would be great!

Seems there’s an Ubuntu Touch version in qml, maybe it can be built if not directly at least as a Qt5.15 app as Angelfish…

I fully agree, native would be great. The decentralised thought of DCh is really super. Used DCh years ago but switched to Telegram and Signal because of native Fernschreiber and Whisperfish. So “nativeness” of an app is an good reason to use it.

Thank you all, a native solution built in to the message app would be like the imessage feature on iOS devices, but even better, as every communication partner can be reached.
The message app is conceptually a front-end to Telepathy.
So if there was a telepathy plugin that would be somewhat feasible.
But TP is pretty much dead everywhere except SFOS, a separate, native client seems the most promising.
Now someone must write or port it.
