Delta Chat Provider Info

Add an Entry

First check wether the file for the provider already exists, if it does skip to the Edit an Entry section.

Add [provider name].md to the _providers folder in the following format:

---
name: [provider name]
website: [website of the provider]
domains: [email domains of the provider / must be an yaml array]
before_login_hint: [~ or a string that should be displayed before the user logs in]
after_login_hint: [~ or a string that should be displayed after the user logged in]
status:
  state: [OK | PREPARATION | BROKEN] - "PREPARATION" stands for Preparation Steps needed
  date: [YYYY-MM]
---
[markdown that descripes the preperation steps, this gets displayed on the website]

Note: if the state is PREPARATION or BROKEN, you need to write something about that into the before_login_hint field.

Status options:

State	Meaning
OK	works right out of the box, no additional steps needed (exception to this are custom domain email addresses where you might need to specify the smtp and imap server manualy)
PREPARATION	preparation step/s is/are needed - (a few steps are required then it works - for example enabling imap/smtp on provider page)
BROKEN	not working - Does not work. (too unstable to use falls also in this category)

Edit an Entry
