Hello,

I installed GPG Tools on my Max OS X Lion and it seemed to work great. MacMail prompted me for the passphrase as normal. However, once I switched to another user account, MacMail doesn't prompt me to enter the passphrase and when I try to click on the file in MacMail it opens the Keychain Access window and then gives an error code of Import Failed - Code 0.

I tried removing GPG Tools and then installing it under the other user account but still gives the same results.

Is there anything else I need to do in order to get this working under both user accounts?

Thanks!

    Hey Melissa,

    not 100% sure which issue we are seeing here. But could you please try to install the nightly Installer from here http://nightly.gpgtools.org/ and see if this fixed your issue?

    Hi Melissa, one important step you might have missed is importing all your keys on the new account.
    The easiest way to do that is to log in to your old account, open GPG Keychain Access, select all the keys (cmd + a), press the export button on the left top.
    Save it to a file. Copy that file to your new user account.

    Log in to your new user account, open GPG Keychain Access, click import on the left top and select the file.

    After that, everything should be working as expected.
