The noarchive.chat Domain

In order to start sending and receiving instant messages, you will need to create an account. An account is identified by an XMPP ID, also referred to as a Jabber ID. Such IDs look just like email addresses: username@domain
. These IDs can send and receive XMPP instant messages but cannot be used to send or receive email.
e2e.ee supports usernames with the following conditions:
Here are some examples of valid usernames:
ferdinand.boxly
1awesome1
sybil-martina-zampo
влади́мир
teófila_velázquez
Here are some examples of invalid usernames that will be rejected:
sudu--sudo cannot include two consecutive dots(.), dashes(-), or underscores(_)
y.y_y.y-nickers cannot mix dots(.), dashes(-), or underscores(_)
-bimpie-wimpy- cannot begin or end with dot(.), dash(-), or underscore(_)
happy!sad cannot include a punctuation symbol
◦•●◉✿🤖✿◉●•◦ cannot include emojis or symbols
dinkers donkers cannot include white space
The following domains are available for you to choose from
When you create a new account, your IP address is not recorded in any way that can identify you or your account. The server records the IP address without reference to your XMPP ID as “used for account creation” in order to block further account creations for a period of 6 hours. After this 6 hour period, the record of the ip address is deleted.
Some IP addresses are blocked from the creation of free accounts. Premium accounts, which require a donation, can be created from any IP address. Blocking free account creation is done to prevent spammers from creating many, many accounts. The following types of IP addresses are blocked from creating free accounts:
After your account is created, you can use a proxy, a vpn or Tor to access e2e.ee services without any barrier.
Public access IP addresses, such as those associated with coffee shops, hotels, universities and libraries are not blocked from creating free accounts.
You may create as many accounts as you need. Please do not create more accounts than you need.
You can manage your account from the Account Management Page.
When you create your account, you will be provided with an Account Management Key. Preserve it along with your password and XMPP ID in a safe place. I recommend using Keepass Password Safe to manage your account details.
The database does not contain plain text of Account Management Keys. If you fail to save your Account Management Key it cannot be recovered under any circumstances. The Account Management Key is the only way to manage your account. No other support for your account is available.
With your Account Management Key you can recover your password from the Account Management Page.
With your Account Management Key you can receive an instant message from the Account Management Page. This is a simple test you can conduct to ensure your account is working properly.
With your Account Management Key you can delete your account from the Account Management Page. You may choose to leave a tombstone. Consider the following:
A tombstones is a sha-256 hash of the full XMPP ID. The database does not contain plain text of deleted IDs. Expired tombstones are deleted whenever a new tombstone is created.
Usernames with fewer than 8 characters are reserved as an acknowledgement for those who donate. If you would like such a username, you can check to see if it is available before you donate. Use the form to check availability on the Account Management Page.
Using your Account Management Key, you can review your most recent 100 messages stored on the server from the Account Management Page. Messages are presented as they are stored with some white space added to make the xml more readable.
As you send and receive messages, you accumulate a history of messages in your archive on the server. This collection of messages is used to syncronize the chat history on multiple devices. Using your Account Management Key, you can purge the history of messages stored on the server from the Account Management Page.
You can create a chatroom at any time but it will not persist if all of the occupants leave the room. You can request a chatroom that persists even when it is empty from the Account Management Page. Your account must be at least 7 days old to make this request.
A persistent chatroom accumulates a history of messages. These historic messages are loaded into a client when the user scrolls up. The owner can delete the archived messages of a persistent chatroom from the Account Management Page.
Files that you share using HTTP File Upload are stored on the server for a period of 5 days. You can review these files from the Account Management Page.
You can delete files that you share using HTTP File Upload from the Account Management Page. Deleting files is useful when you need more space to share new files or when files you have shared need to remain private.
Enter the support chatroom at support@e2e.chat from your XMPP client to ask for help. You can also request support from the Account Management Page. Support via email is not available.
An account without a login for a period of 6 months is considered abandoned and will be purged from the database.
