Well, what I mean is that you may end up running a supported, secure version of
DeltaChat on a phone with an obsolete, insecure baseband. Or an obsolete,
insecure Android version.

Or a supported, insecure Android version (after all, Google has root access to
your phone if you have any Google Service enabled).

If I have to give DeltaChat the password for one of my email accounts, then
Android may access the email credentials. I find it unaceptable because email
accounts are used for many non-communication critical activities - such as
password recovery for online banking.

Iç'd work if I used DeltaChat with an email account which I used for nothing
important. For example, an email account created specifically for using
DeltaChat over it. I would not consider it safe, but damage would be contained
in case of compromise.
