Since nightly version 2771n the GPG Mail plugin disappears from the Mail App. There are no settings anymore and you can not crypt or sign a mail. There is also no version number in the prefserence pane. The plugin is still listed under plugins in the mail prefs pane

Expected
the possibility to sign and crypt emails

   Hi sonic,

   we apologize for the bad experience. What you describe is unrelated to any issues with your support plan, but rather a bug in macOS Mojave/Catalina which sometimes prevents plugins from loading due to faulty permissions.

   In order to fix that, please follow these steps:

   The solution is to enable Full Disk Access and after that running a Terminal command.

   Steps:

   1. Close Mail.app
      
   2. Open System Preferences › Security › Privacy
      
   3. Enable Terminal under Full Disk Access
      
   4. Restart Terminal when prompted
      

   5. Run the following command:

      rm -rf ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/DataVaults

   6. Open Mail

   If that doesn’t help, you will have to disable SIP and run step 5 again.

   Hope that helps.

   Hi Steve,

   i had to disable SIP to delete the DataVaults folder.
   After restart Mail I had to enable the GPGMailLoader.mailbundle Plugin in the Plugin Management. Unfortunately it didn't work on both Macs. Version 2770n works easy after reinstall.

   Der ist unter dem Radar durch.

   Schön, dass es nun wieder klappt. GPG Suite 2020.1 ist nun auch veröffentlicht. Du kannst also auf ein Stable Release wechseln.

   Einen schönen Abend dir,
   Steve
