    "Working Great Again"

    February 23, 2011  |   By zunipus

    Version: GPGMail 1.3.1

    Pros

    GPG provides free and Open Source equivalent of PGP encryption and services on the Mac OS X platform. Recent bugs have been overcome, restoring it to vigor once again.

    Cons

    There is a steep learning curve to understand and properly use Gnu Privacy Guard (GPG).

    Summary

    The GPG project needs developers! It also needs donations!

    I have to thank those on the GPG Mac teams for responding to the need for updates to all the GPG tools. The result is a return to full functionality. I have it working beautifully.

    There is an overall package of GPGTools of which the GPGMail mail bundle is but one component. I recommend the entire package. It contains version 1.3.2rc2 of GPGMail, a beta update beyond version 1.3.1. Here is where you can read about GPGTools and download it:

    http://www.gpgtools.org/

    This site has an excellent introduction to cryptography and digital signatures. It explains why it is CRITICAL for the modern world of computing. If you are serious about computer security this is well worth reading and thoroughly understanding.

    What remains confusing is that there are two branches, v1.x and v2.x, in the MacGPG project. Theoretically, the two branches can both be installed and run together without conflicts. However, my problems late in 2010 were directly attributable to the two branches NOT being compatible at that time. Therefore, I STRONGLY suggest picking one or the other and ONLY using that branch on into the future, despite arguments to the contrary. If I had followed this advice I'd have saved myself months of suffering.

    Personally, I am sticking with the current v1.x version 1.4.11 and not installing the v2.x branch, which was previously the source of bugs. I have installed 1.4.11 via MacTools and have it running great with all the other GPG tools.

    The complete current version of GPGTools includes:
    - GPG Keychain Access (for creating, sharing and storing keys)
    - MacGPG2 (the underlying process for Gnu Privacy Guard)
    - GPGMail (which works with Apple Mail)
    - GPGServices (sign, verify and key sharing via the Services menu)
    - GPGPreferences (a System Preferences pane)
    - EnigMail (which works with Mozilla eMail, i.e. Thunderbird)

    Get the entire package, learn and use it. It's stupendous stuff and well worth supporting, back in action all thanks to some very dedicated recent work.

    Updated on Feb 23, 2011

    CORRECTION: I have installed MacGPG via *MacPorts*.

    You can read about and download MacPorts at:

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

    "Does the job"

    December 15, 2003  |   By Dr. Zhivago

    Version: GPGMail 1.0.1

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    Once you get MacGPG and it's configuration utilities installed, GPGMail is very easy to use. Surpisingly, it seems to be better than OS X's built-in encryption/signing method in almost every manner, from ease-of-use to actual security.

    Great app.

    "Encrypted e-mail for the rest of us."

    October 27, 2003  |   By Hiram

    Version: GPGMail 1.0

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    This add-on for Mail.app is invaluable. Mail is supposed to have built-in support for encryption, but the help files are no help: it's unclear how encryption features can be activated. GPGMail comes to the rescue, with functionality at an even higher level than with its pre-Pather releases. I still have to find a way to save decrypted messages in their decrypted state, so indexing them will work, but that's a minor issue. And the arrow widget used to show and collapse signature information looks a bit like a placeholder for an actual widget, but that's the only gripe I have with this wonderful utility.

    "no problems"

    Version: GPGMail 1.0

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    GPG Mail 1.0 for Panther works great. The mail.app implementation hast become much better than before and it became nicer than the old version. The only thing I'm missing is a md5 checksum for the files of GPGMail. The should publish one on their website.

    Version: GPGMail 1.0

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    For 24 hours (since installing Panther), my biggest worry was when this would be updated. -- No kidding.
    Works like a charme and the integration with Mail is very pleasing.

    This is an absolute must-have. -- 10 Stars!

    Version: GPGMail 1.0

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    There are two different Versions, one for Panther, one for Jaguar...
    Once I found the Jaguar Bundle, all works as expected. The new Look is much better, decryption still works. This Software is a necessary Tool for all Mail.app Users.
