@delta Can you recomend some deltachat version that you consider save and reliable before you introduced the relay server stuff for people that simply want to use deltachat as it was in it's early days? @hypolite

@utopiarte @delta I assume the answer would be "the latest version" since they introduced end-to-end encryption in the later versions and it would considered the "safest". In a way, with E2EE you theoretically don't have to trust relays that only pass around encrypted messages. Compare to the early days of Delta Chat where nothing was "safe" since it only relied on plain text emails to my knowledge. Of course I don't expect anybody to have been using Delta Chat for cryptographically sensitive conversation either, so I really don't know where this push came from.

@utopiarte @hypolite there is no older safe version that will continue to work forever, sorry. You would need to find a few folks who go for forking and developing things in a different direction, and then use their work.
