       | I joined a small DeltaChat group with less than 10 participants,
       | and the chat wasn't overly busy. But with 10 participants and
       | outgoing return-receipts I was soon over the 400 outgoing
       | messages per day that my email provider allowed for. To stay on
       | DeltaChat ) had to switch email provider.
       | 
       | Other than that, DeltaChat works like a charm.

       | Part of the reason people like messaging apps is because messages
       | are short an instant. Emails, even with optimise settings still
       | aren't instantaneous in the same way whats app signal or imessage
       | is. Its also built for much longer text, which encourages lengthy
       | messages. These factors make it feel cumbersome compared to
       | messaging services in my opinion.

         | "email" app that works and looks as an instant messenger.
