Yes, this is how Delta Chat was designed from the start! In fact you can even use Delta Chat as a hybrid mail/instant messaging client, and you can even use the same account for mail and chatting if you want, but people often find it works more smoothly if you create a separate account for chatting.

However there are some differences between a regular mail server and a chatmail server which you might want to learn about, such as push notifications and automatic mail deletion.

For an account to be completely abandoned (no logins), the user needs to log out first, by deleting the account from inside the Delta Chat app, right?

I know that each Chatmail deployment has its own setup, but I never read anything about idle accounts being deleted with other Chatmail deployments, unless the user intentionally sign out. I'm sure you have a reason to do this for your deployment, but I can't think of a compelling security reason to delete a signed in account just because it is inactive.
