If GPGMail is installed, the S/MIME E-Mail encryption does not work. I can send an S/MIME signed e-mail, but the S/MIME encryption is disabled although I am answering to an S/MIME signed E-Mail or writing to an address with an trustworthy certificate.

Expected
If GPGMail is installed, the S/MIME E-Mail encryption should work

   Hi Patrick,

   welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.

   Could you try to export, delete and re-import the S/MIME cert and see if that improves the situation?

   Also you might want to update to the latest nightly build:
   https://releases.gpgtools.org/nightlies/

   Are you then still seeing the same problem?

   If yes, could you please temporarily disable GPGMail:

   • shut down mail.app
   • open finder
   • navigate to /Library/Mail/Bundles or ~/Library/Mail/Bundles and copy GPGMail.mailbundle to your desktop
   • now delete GPGMail.mailbundle from the original folder

   Restart mail and check in Mail.app > Preferences if you still see GPGMail. It should be gone.

   To re-enable mail, close Mail.app and move the bundle file back to the Bundles folder.

   Let me know the test results and how this went.

   All the best,
   steve
