-/// Struct representing a list of deltachat accounts.
+/// This class provides functionality that can be used to manage several [`dc_context_t`]
+/// objects running at the same time.
+///
+/// The account manager takes a directory where all context-databases are created in.
+///
+/// You can add, remove, import account to the account manager, all context-databases are
+/// persisted and stay available once the account manager is created again for the same
+/// directory.
+///
+/// All accounts may receive messages at the same time (e.g. by #DC_EVENT_INCOMING_MSG), and
+/// all accounts may be accessed by their own dc_context_t object.
+///
+/// To make this possible, some dc_context_t functions must not be called when using the
+/// account manager:
+///
+/// - use [`dc_accounts_add_account()`] and [`dc_accounts_get_account()`] instead of
+///   [`dc_context_new()`].
+/// - use [`dc_accounts_add_closed_account()`] instead of [`dc_context_new_closed()`]
+/// - use [`dc_accounts_start_io()`] and [`dc_accounts_stop_io()`] instead of
+///   [`dc_start_io()`] and [`dc_stop_io()`]
+/// - use dc_accounts_maybe_network() instead of dc_maybe_network()
+/// - use dc_accounts_get_event_emitter() instead of dc_get_event_emitter()

+/// Additionally, there are functions to list, import and migrate accounts
+/// and to handle a "selected" account, see below.
