GPGMail CommentaryNot yet Snow Leopard Ready - Version: 1.2, 9/20/2009 05:53PM PST

zunipus
The current version of GPGMail will NOT work in Snow Leopard.

Happily, a developer has volunteered to bring it up to compatibility with Apple Mail v4 (the version shipped with Snow Leopard) if Mail is set to 32-Bit mode via Get Info. This is not a perfect solution, but it will work.

The problem apparently is that the code for GPGMail is too old to work in 64-Bit mode. GPGMail will require a significant rewrite to work as 64-Bit, and there is no schedule as yet for the rewrite.

Meanwhile, PGP is also NOT Snow Leopard Ready. But an update for PDP is also in the works.

BTW: Please ignore the newbies who post nonsense about GPG 'not' working in Tiger or Leopard. It actually works perfectly. The problem, as usual, is that these people refuse to RTFM. Therefore, they have no idea how to get GPG to work. This is complicated software compared to most and is therefore not going to be adequately understood by many people. Their inability to use the software does NOT equate to the software not working. So there.

I am using this new version with Mail Version 3.5 (930.3) (Leopard 10.5.6), and its behavior is excellent.


Thank you.

GPGMail ReviewNot so great - Version: 1.1.2, 2/12/2008 12:00AM PST

I have compiled and installed the latest version of gpg stable from source, and a while back, I tried encrypting a message to myself with gpgmail. When the message arrived in my inbox, I was unable to decrypt it - gpgmail would prompt for the password twice, and then give me the message "bad password." But, the password was not bad - I then tried decrypting the same message using gpg itself, and the message decrypted just fine.

I tried posting about this on the mailing list, but GPGMail's mailing list doesn't seem to work.

I'd rather not use Thunderbird, since it is far too slow/clunky for my old machine, so I guess I'm stuck with good ol' CLI gpg.

GPGMail Troubleshooting Reportissues w/ PC users running PGP 9.5.1/Outlook - Version: 1.1.2, 12/19/2006 11:24AM PST

This app works great with other Mac users running GPG, but recently I've had to interact with someone using the commercial PGP v. 9.5.1 and Outlook, and it's not quite as smooth. I'm unsure if this is an issue with GPGMail or with GPG 1.4.5 itself, or more probably, Outlook/Windows.

I have GPG configured to not automatically decrypt, so when I click the decrypt button on an encrypted message, nothing happens, until I click to a different message, then back to the encrypted message. When I click back, the message is decrypted, albeit with quite a few "=20" linefeeds. Encrypted messages with attachments just don't work at all.

Just for fun I'm going to install GPG and Thunderbird on a Windows box and see how the interaction goes.

This is the best GPG plugin for a mail program. It's easy to use, and can do all the crypto stuff noiseless.

GPGMail Troubleshooting ReportCompatibility with PC - Version: 1.1.1, 11/18/2005 07:32AM PST

Dear experts,

I have tried to exchange encrypted files with PCs, but unfortunately it did not work. They get an .asc file that cannot be read.
I tried all the settings but could not find why it did not work.
Encrypting the file separately (with GPG file tools) works well.
The other person uses GPG on a PC. I am on MacOS 10.4.3 with Mail 2.0.5 (current version).

Does anyone have a clue of what I could do or is it a bug^H^H^H feature in the software ?? ;-)

Thanks for your support !

GPGMail CommentaryWrong Version - Version: 1.1.1, 7/18/2005 07:12PM PST

Downloaded and installed but Mail says the encryption engine is wrong. Version 1.2.2 or greater is needed and the download version is 1.1.1. That makes a lot of sense.
