#EMCRYPTED EMAIL FOR MAC SOFTWARE#
GPG is a free software alternative to the closed source commercial PGP. To generate your keys, you need to install GnuPG (aka GPG). Please visit and follow the instructions to install it. If that isn’t the case, Homebrew is a package manager (similar to RPM or deb on Linux) that makes This guide assumes you use Homebrew to install packages on your Mac. We will release platform specific guides for them in the future. If you are running Linux or Windows, the instructions below can be used with some modifications. At the minimum, we recommend that you create a subkey following the steps documented here so you won’t be storing your master key on the server. If you want automatic decryption of messages, you need to consider the security implications of leaving your private key on the server. This is the most secure option, but the content of the message won’t be readable or searchable within Cerb. If you receive an encrypted message that can’t be decrypted, Cerb will leave the encrypted content as an attachment on the message that you can decrypt offline. To automatically decrypt a received encrypted message in Cerb, you need to have the corresponding private key in your keyring. Using Key-server.io’s public key server.Using your newly created GPG key with Cerb.Should you not find the "Encrypt Selection" option please ensure GPG Services are activated.

Damn, too late - now what? Use GPG Services to decrypt incoming emails If you rely on encryption, please stick to the stable branch of macOS. The same holds true for macOS beta releases. Nobody will get hurt, if you are not on the new release on day one, but your known workflows may break.
#EMCRYPTED EMAIL FOR MAC UPDATE#
Important: If GPG Mail is an essential part of your workflow do not update to the latest macOS release without consulting our website for compatibility information first. Such an API would help adapting to the internal changes. The fact that GPG Mail no longer works after major updates, is related to the circumstance, that Apple does not provide any APIs for Mail app. This is because for new version of macOS, Apple changes a lot of internals in Mail app.
While minor updates are mostly unproblematic, major updates of macOS are likely to break GPG Mail compatibility. For that to work, please ensure automatic update checks are enabled in System Preferences > GPG Suite Preferences > Updates. We do our best to ensure that macOS updates won't disable GPGMail.
