PGP for Mail.app?

Alright, I've been loooking for a while and I can't seem to find a good encryption solution for Mail.app
Apple's Mail help file mentions something vague about how mail does support pgp if the enctyption is hidden in they keychain, but mentions no way of doing this. Is there some easy way of implementing pgp in mail that I'm missing? The best solution Google easily offers is GPGMail (http://www.sente.ch/software/GPGMail/English.lproj/GPGMail.html), but that seems slightly sketchy and I'd like to do encryption the Apple Way™ (if there is a way, that is)

There's no reason not to use the GPGMail plugin for Mac OS X; it's been around for years and it works; nothing "sketchy" about it. You will also need to download and install the GNU Privacy Guard (a.k.a. MacGPG) to make it encrypt and decrypt messages.
Or, you could get a free personal email certificate to sign and encrypt your mail, but it will expire after 1 year and then you'd have to get a new one. If that's the method you prefer, check this link for instructions. Go directly to the link where it says Thawte: Personal Email Certificates and start reading.

  • How to enable logging for mail.app in Mountain Lion

    I am at my wits end trying to figure this out....
    Does anyone have a clue how to enable the logging for mail.app under Mountain Lion?
    In the past, you could open up Console and click on Console.log and see the logging of mail. Under mountain Lion, there is no more console.log. I cannot figure out how to enable it.
    I have tried to run the AppleScript of "Turn On Logging" but the script errors out under Mountain Lion.
    Does anyone know how to do this or a better way, maybe a tool or something that can help you troubleshoot mail.app issues?
    Thanks in advanced

    Hello,
    I have a similar problem. The script "Turn on Logging.scpt" runs without error, but I do not see any socket logging. I only get two messages, which I also get when I start mail without the script by just clicking the mail.app icon in the dock. The Messages are:
    1/10/13 3:43:32.618 PM Mail[11276]: Using V2 Layout
    1/10/13 3:43:36.388 PM Mail[11276]: *** -[IADomainCache init]: IA domains cache is out of date.
    Any help would be appreciated

  • How to find add-ons for mail.app

    D'oh!  
    Am I missing something incredibly obvious about App Store?
    I want to find all add-ons -- worktogethers for mail.app.  How?
    Example:   I found a product called MessageFont which may have a similar function to the one I am seeking.  Its web page is marked "Available on App Store". Sure, I can find Messagefont on App Store, either by overall search, or alphabetical arrangement of Productivity Apps.    So, I guess that the app I'm seeking MIGHT also be in this category.  But there are currently 3065 other apps in that category.   Does the Search box at upper left apply to the currently visible selection?  Maybe, sort of.  But searching for "mail.app" or "mail" don't seem to do what I want.  Searching for "apple mail" returns only 7 hits, including my example, MessageFont, but the hits also include OS X Server, and b) It seems unlikely there are only 5 additional add-ons -- worktogethers for mail.app.
    Bonus question:  What I'm looking for is a utility that makes it easier to reply to formatted email messages in mail.app, by making visible --and prefereably, supporting removal of-- block structures.   It seems that block structures (e.g. blockquotes, perhaps others) interfere with opening vertical space into which  interspersed reply text can be entered.
    TIA

    To what are you referring when you ask about "add-ons to Premiere 13" (assumed you mean Adobe Premiere Element 13)? On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running?
    Premiere Elements has not come with a Content Disc or offered Content download from an Adobe web site since Premiere Elements 10.
    If "add-ons" to you mean Content download...DVD Templates, Movie Themes, Clip Art, etc....then most of that is going to come from downloading
    Content from within the opened project. There is a limited amount of content that comes complete as part of the installation.
    A description of this process is fully described

    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask. Please supply more information If I have not targeted your question.
    Thank you.

  • Sobriety check for Mail.app

    Hi everyone,
    I've been asked at work if it is possible to add this functionality to Mail.app, in a similar vein to what Gmail has recently added to their service.
    In a nutshell, what I need to create is an alert dialog that pops up when a user clicks the send button in Mail that allows them to confirm they want the message to be sent. It's not really a sobriety check (at least I hope not) but really a chance for an employee to avoid mistakes in their email message before it goes out.
    At this point I'd just like to know if it's feasible before I go down this route and if anyone has any advice for an AS noob looking to do this. Bonus points if you know whether it's possible to add a modifier to the Send button to bypass the script.
    Thanks much!

    Not directly - at least not via AppleScript.
    Mail.app supports AppleScripts for scanning incoming mail messages. There is no support for AppleScript on outgoing messages.
    It is possible to write Mail.app plugins, but they're not well documented (search for 'Mail.app plugin' for an idea) and requires an understanding of Objective-C.
    The last option I can think of is to not use Mail.app's automatic send/receive. Instead using a stay-open AppleScript to periodically get mail and check for messages in the outbox. If it finds any it posts the question then sends the message(s). The problem with this approach, though, is that it's far from foolproof (the user can send the message manually by enabling automatic mail sending).

  • PGP crashes Mail.app upon launch

    Since I installed PGP Desktop, Mail.app crashes upon launch. If I try to launch it again, it launches just fine. Usually with the second effort, sometimes it takes 3 times.
    I removed the PGP.bundle and it's working just fine. Is there another solution to this problem or should I remove this permanently?

    Try GPGMail - I have had no problems with it.

  • Skins-Themes for Mail.app

    I may have posted this before but got no responses... trying again.
    I am using Thunderbird now, but mail.app is finally looking attractive. Is thre any way to change the theme for mail.app? It's "mission critical" for me to us a dark theme.. I can't face a white screen all day long..
    if there is no theme option for mail.app. where do I go in apple.com to post feature requests?

    "duh" of course.. but since I never open mail.app I didn't think of that.. .thanks
    btw.. it just takes you back here to:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/mail.html
    and if you search "feedback" you get all the links to send in feature requests for all the apps...

  • Am I too fast for Mail.app?

    *Simplified version*: http://trials.sent.com/problem.jpg
    *Detailed version:*
    So here I am composing away in Mail.app. I suddenly decide that I need to select a prior portion of my typed text and replace it with another phrase.
    So I select the text, and I start typing my replacement phrase without pressing delete. This used to work fine, and the portion that I wanted replaced would get replaced with the new intended phrase.
    The problem? After I select a prior portion of the typed text, and press delete (or start typing with my replacement), I'm now seeing additional words (those that were present right after the deleted words) automatically selected by Mail.app.
    This is bad, because if I'm typing away, I've already lost unintended words. Am I too fast for Mail.app? Should I slow down?
    Is this just me? I've had this problem for over almost a year now (with my old macbook), and new macbook pro.

    This exact problem has happened to me on my Late 2008 MBP a number of times.
    After I select something, I delete it (cut it, type another letter, whatever) and the text is moved appropriately, but the selected area remains. So upon the next keystroke the next few words are also deleted.
    It seems to be some sort of bug. I'm not sure if its related to the trackpad, or what. I haven't made much effort to isolate and fix the problem either. Perhaps we should both submit feedback to Apple about this. Your illustration depicts the problem perfectly. Would you mind if I link to it when I send in feedback?
    One more thing: It's not limited to Mail.app on my machine. I get it in Pages and TextEdit as well, for sure. Perhaps it is limited to Cocoa applications; I'm not sure if I've ever got it in Word or Appleworks.

  • How to get iPhone sounds for Mail.app on Snow Leopard?

    Hi,
    I like the "new text message" sound called "Chime". I would like to use this sound for new mails in Mail.app, too. Is there any way I can download this sound on my MacBook Pro (from some webpage?)?
    The sound "Glas" is available both on Mail.app and on the iPhone, but note the "Chime" sound.
    Cheers

  • Configuring Proxy servers for Mail.app

    Hello, and sorry if this question has been answered b4, but I couldn't find an answer... basically, I have to go thru proxy server at work to connect to the internet on my MBP, which I configured with Network Preferences (I enabled ftp, http, https, socks, and ITMS proxies.. Safari works fine, but can't get Mail to retrieve any mail from either of my mailboxes (.Mac and Gmail POP). the same prob. doesn't happen when i'm home trying to access my Mail from home (where i don't have to go thru proxy servers) using my macbook pro. the question is, how can i "tell" Mail that i'm using a proxy server?? thanks

    No, actually i tried it first with socks proxy disabled, and then with it enabled, but nothing appears to be working.. it sounds a little strange to me that Mail.app doesn't contain specific settings that allow users behind company proxies to still access their mail servers, b/c for whatever reason Mail.app doesn't appear to be using the default system-wide proxy settings specfied in network preferences, which by the way Safari picked up right away and started using. well, any further help on this would be much appreciated, thanks .....

  • Pop-up looking for mail.app

    Hey, I stupidly deleted my mail.app instead of just disabling it... now I keep getting a message asking me to find the app. it's gone. what can i do to get my macbook to stop asking about it?

    Wrong...
    When a client pops the servers first copies the
    entire mailbox to a .pop file and then the client is
    supplied with the mail that resides inside this .pop
    file
    Well, not exactly. How the server operates internally to progress (for instance) from the Authorization to the Transaction state is not defined by the POP standard, nor does POP require that any actual message content be available for the server to respond to common transaction state commands except the RETR one. In fact, rfc 1939 strongly discourages the server from responding with more than the minimum information these commands require.
    Because of this, I suspect there may be more than one timeout value involved in Mail.app -- for instance, one for the server indicating it is in the authorization state, another for the time it takes to establish lockout after the authorization transaction is complete, & so on.
    IOW, it may not be possible to discuss how to change "the" timeout interval without discussing how POP works to determine where the timeout that is the problem occurs.

  • Want more formatting features for Mail.app

    Hi everyone,
    Wouldn't it be nice if Apple made Mail.app as feature rich as Thunderbird?
    Wow! You'd think they'd want Mail to be fully formattable and customizable with all the features available.
    I can't believe we can't control background color for example.
    Thanks

    IMO, no.
    I'm not a fan of using HTML for email message composition and I'm not interested in changing the background color of my messages or adding animated gifs or smileys and I don't enjoy receiving messages with the same.
    Using HTML for email message composition increased the cost to exchange electronic messages and also causes a wide range of problems including major security issues - primarily for Windows users.

  • Email's for MobileMe Account stuck in outbox for Mail.app

    I upgraded to OS X Lion and have had the usual issues everyone else has had.  I've followed everyone's advice to fix them all, but now I've developed this new one.  I can't send emails anymore from my MobileMe account on my Mac.  The emails get stuck in the outbox and never send.  If I post them to the drafts in the Mail.app, and then go through Safari into the MobileMe Account, I can send the email out without a problem.  Just not from the Mail.app.  Can anyone shed some light on this one?  I'll post any data log you may need, I just don't know where to look for an answer.  Thanks.
    On a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 MBP 15", running 10.7, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 ram cache.

    The new update 10.7.1 resolved the issue and I am now able to send and receive emails from my MBP at home.  Please disregard this entire post series. Problem solved.

  • Merging Inbox/Sent for Mail.app on two Macs?

    I send/receive all e-mail via Mail.app; this app is always kept "open" on my iMac and my ISP (in collaboration with GMail) automatically downloads all incoming mail.
    When I'm away from home, however, I utilize Mail.app on a MacBookAir. My "home" Mac remains off or sleeping.
    Once I've returned home, what procedure will allow the files on my two Macs to become identical?

    What kind of accounts are they? If they are IMAP, or can be set up as IMAP (gmail can), you would never have to sync them.
    If they are POP accounts, you should set them up to Leave Mail on the Server for a long enough period that both Macs can download the email before it is removed from the server.
    As for doing what you want, now, I'm not sure of the easiest way to do that. I would either forward them to myself, or try dragging them into a folder on an external drive and copy that over to the other Mac.
