Start DM by inviting again an email create a new DM #23139
Description
Your use case
Steps to reproduce
- Start a new DM by selecting an e-mail and sending a message -> a new DM is created unencrypted and a third party invite is sent - OK
- Other user does not react to the invite, yet - They did create their mx account, or they did not enable discovery of their account via their email address
- Start again a new DM by selecting the same email -> Element-web suggests sending your first message - NOK this will create a new DM instead of keep using the existing one
What would you like to do?
The existing DM should be opened when I press Go on the Start DM dialog (after having selected the same email)
Why would you like to do it?
To prevent multiple DM for the same contact
How would you like to achieve it?
Check whether a DM is already created for the email in the m.direct event (Account Data)
