I have been playing with DeltaChat for a while - weirdly the fam has not really taken to it.
Where MonoclesChat is kinda working for them atm?
IDK, its weird what people like (or don't) sometimes. I don't really see a difference, except for calling feature.

ANYWAY, afaik "chatmail" is basically good'ol Dovevot/postfix+ stack with some config tweaks.

I am running DeltaChat against my accounts (self)hosted on DockerMailServer (dovecot,postfix, etc in a container) - zero problems, worked out of the box!
I remain impressed with DeltaChat.

And I 100% hear you about the E2E side.
OMEMO seems to work as expected with XMPP, BUT there are gotchas that I already ran into.

So...that might be a good distinguishing item...
