> it is a good application, especially for business communication
Can you please enlarge on what this application actually does, what are its benefits? Following your given link tells one almost nothing:
 "deltachat-desktop
  Desktop Application for delta.chat"
What is the difference between 'delta.chat' & 'deltachat-desktop'?
nor does this:
 https://delta.chat/en/
 "Chat over e-mail and head back to the future with us"
 "All you need is a standard e-mail account."
This is better:
 https://delta.chat/en/help#what-is-delta-chat
" What is Delta Chat?
 Delta Chat is a new chat app that sends messages via e-mails"
 "you can write to every existing e-mail address"
and makes it clear that participants need an e-mail address. So what is the advantage of this application over straight e-mail?

The advantage is the same, that communication is more instantaneous, like more conversation, than email, but with the advantage that the conversation remains registered in a folder of the email account.

Comment 3 Lewis Smith 2020-06-18 15:08:04 CEST
I had seen that, and was far from convinced. It looks like just a specialised e-mail client. I will launch this in the usual way, but draw your attention to the last bit.

I'm starting to help Katnatek with some packages, but I still don't quite understand some things. Little by little, I am going to review the documentation that you indicate in comment 3 and it is very possible that you point me to the team of packers. (I am already part of the translation and QA team).

Greetings!

I think that we can close this bug. The appimage of Deltachat works fine in Mageia 8.

Greetings!!

Hi, I close the bug by old. In Mageia 8 works fine.
