Timestamps in chat are time of download

This is confusing as not all clients are always on and always receiving drop messages.

E.g. the time when the server received the message is preferable.

A workaround would be to let the clients state "received a moment ago" instead of "a moment ago" to clarify the confusion but it would be better to have more meaningful timestamps.

I don't think it works this way:
https://github.com/Qabel/qabel-core/blob/master/chat/src/main/java/de/qabel/chat/service/MainChatService.kt#L161

The time shown is the creation date of the drop message, thus it depends on the correctness of the senders clock.

It's a bug in the desktop. The code bridge in the DropDaemon doesn't keep the creationDate. Thus, the default new Date() is used here

Also the time stamps are just "HH:MM" the day is missing which leads to confusion.
