> DC has no latency if your mail host is their chatmail distribution and not a regular IMAP/SMTP server

That may be so, but then that sort of defeats one of the biggest benefits of Delta Chat, namely, that if you already have email then you already have Delta Chat, and one only need login to one's email address to begin using it. So, now, it's under the caveat that, "well, actually, best practices is you should have a dedicated Delta Chat account that doesn't conflict with your actual email and for real performance you should spin up this special, dedicated email server that's tuned for Delta Chat". In that case, why not just use XMPP? Which is objectively better, with more features, and a more "complete" product? XMPP has been suggested as a viable and superior replacement protocol for email vs. SMTP, even! @sophie @49016 @ar @icedquinn
