GPG for email (and other stuff?)

Hi,
It would be pretty nice to have gpg (gnu version of pgp) support on the jolla mail client. Security is vital these days..

Using mutt isn't so hard to learn, but setting up compile environment, running make, etc is. @inte, make it a package on OpenRepos!

Mutt is for "online" work, it is not suitable for any "offline" tasks with an IMAP server. I used mutt many years, and yes, it is the best solution under the condition you have very stable internet connection. Mutt is worthless on mobile, especially without HW keyboard.

pavi ( 2015-01-08 21:37:20 +0300 )editSorry upfront if i go to much off-topic as this is not an answere. BUT the guy behind GnuPG /GPG (Werner Koch) seems to need public help as there was a donation call today. Just wanted to make you all aware of the situation. Well, implementing GPG into Sailfish is onething we all want, but what if there is no maintained GPG in a whole anymore? http://www.propublica.org/article/the-worlds-email-encryption-software-relies-on-one-guy-who-is-going-broke
[Edit:] thanks to the propublica article and hacker news coverage and probably other publications, there was a lot of donation money coming in. Very well deserved. Glad this happened!

This is very important for the future of email encryption and other hand Dear Dear Sailfish OS a graphical support in the phone would really bring all those GNU/Linux users to buy a Jolla phone instead of android.

Werner told us he only received permission to disclose it after our article published. Meanwhile, since our story was posted, donations flooded Werner's website donation page and he reached his funding goal of $137,000. In addition, Facebook and the online payment processor Stripe each pledged to donate $50,000 a year to Koch’s project."
