I find no “profile/account” settings under “Settings”. I can’t find where I change the password. I can’t send emails and get the error “Login as xy not possible” under System Messages. I still get all emails from the server. Version 2.49.0 (7472) ---

Go to “Advanced”, then “Relays”, then edit the relay setting to change the password. ---

Thank you, meanwhile I have found this. It’s very counterintuitive. Still my messages don’t get through. The error message above was an old one. Where can I see current error messages? – Is it not possible to send an email to the own email address? ---

You can send to yourself, that’s what “saved messages” is. But mail must be Keymail-compliantly encrypted. Otherwise the relays silently drop it. ---

It’s very counterintuitive. only a side note: it is kind of an [xy-problem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem): there is no such thing as an “account on some server” in Delta Chat 🙂 everything is local, and you can use changeable relays to send/receive messages. this is very different from what classic email and many other messengers are doing - even if you use a classic email as an rely (what most ppl are _not_ doing) ---

The “account on some server” exists and you only now call it a “relay”. When I started using delta chat email was the only purpose. Messages to myself as a contact or to “saved messages” still are getting nowhere. ---

Copy-pasting the contact URL from one profile’s QR-code page to the other will put them in contact. Sorry, I misunderstood you.
