About socks5 it says > socks5 support is … Can you specify which leaks may occur? What about running deltachat in combination with torsocks or proxychains? Will that get all data over tor? Thank you. ---

which map tiles you open in the desktop version for example, but mail traffic and dns should go over the socks5 connection. I guess proxychains would work, though I didn’t try it yet. You could look into it with Wireshark I guess? ---
