    How does it work ?

    And if I know someone e-mail why not send e-mail (I mean, I know it’s a pitty that nobody uses pgp over e-mail)

      Because when it detects support for encryption or that you are talking to someone using DeltaChat as well, it switches automatically to encrypted conversations.

      DeltaChat uses AutoCrypt which needs no user interaction to immediately go for encryption. With traditional emailing with GnuPG and email one would first manually exchange GnuPG keys (or download them from a key server). With DeltaChat this is automated when both users use DeltaChat. With DeltaChat there is no real difference between emailing encrypted with another DeltaChat user, and emailing without encryption with another user which does not use DeltaChat.
