thanks for reporting - and sorry for the troubles.

the issue is there because of one badly formatted message from somewhere in the INBOX - however, of course, Delta Chat should also handle such messages and did that also in the past, it was just a bug :/

however, the bug is already fixed in 1.8.0 which is already pushed to google play and should be available soon (or already now :)

see https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/issues/1461 for details.

although fixed, we can keep it open a few days, maybe others stumble upon the same issue.

@r10s Thanks for the quick fix, when will it be available in the F-Droid store ?

when will it be available in the F-Droid store ?

probably in some days. F-Droid updates usually take a bit longer than
GPlay because someone of the F-Droid guys has to manually pick up the
updates and publish it (to improve security).

For now it seems that all the messages are coming.
I am using Delta Chat 1.8.1
