Associate private key to email address (web)
Hello,
I have created the private key with false email address and I have associate it with my real email address with Enigmail when I have used Thunderbird.
Now I'm using Mail app of Apple but I don't understand how to associate my private key to my real email address.
I'm using gpgmail on OS X 10.7.4
Help me, please.
Best regards
Dario Puliero

Hi,
I've done what you said but the only thing is changed it's the possibility to digitally sign the mail but not still crypt ...

Hey Dario,
well the followup question of course is, do you actually have the pub key for ***@xyz.com?
Could you send a test msg to the GPGTools Team key? It's in GPG Keychain Access, if not re-install the installer and make sure to include the Team key.
All the best,
steve

Hey Dario,
use this mail address: gpgtools-org AT lists.gpgtools DOT org
replate at with @ and dot with .
Search for the according key on the public key servers by using this mail address.
Hope this helps :)

Hi Steve,
I can't send test message because Mail.app returns this error: "This message cannot be encrypted because you do not have the public key for [email blocked]."
I have installed gnupg and I should have the public key as you can see bye keychain screenshot that it is attached into this email.

which version of GPGMail are you using? Which version of GPG Keychain Access?
I can't see the screenshot. It seems Tender (this support-platform) is having some issues processing the attachment. Most likely a problem with their servers and they are usually rather fast solving those little problems.
Have you installed the latest nightly of the GPGTools Installer from here: http://nightly.gpgtools.org/?
15 Posted by Dario Puliero on 11 Jun, 2012 02:10 PM
GPGMail: Version 2.0a31 Build: 107103
Keychain: Version 1.0b7 (1.0b7)
To view screen:

Yes, I have installed the latest nightly.

As I thought: you simply have the wrong key. The mail address I named does not exist in GPG Keychain Access thus you cannot encrypt mails to that address.
See what it should look like in my screenshot...
So:

Ok, I have received your reply but my issue is another.
I have a public key of my friend and this key is associated to a no real email.
My problem is to add a user id at this public key so as to send encypted email to my friend.
How can I do?
I think I understand that I have not a chance to manually select a key when sending mail, isn't true?
Thanks for everything

Dario, I don't understand what you are trying to do.
You have a public key of your friend and try to add a user ID to that key? That is not possible. You can only add user IDs to keys of which you also have the sec key part.
If you want to write encrypted mails with your friend, he'd have to connect the key to an actual mail address.
Or create a new key and upload that to the key servers.
About key selection: well, that's what GPGMail is good for: it connects the mail address you are writing to to GPG Keychain Access and automatically sees if you have a key that matches that address.
Hope this helps,
steve

Hi Dario,
in order to do that, you have to run the following command in Terminal:
defaults write org.gpgtools.common PublicKeyUserMap -dict-add email fingerprint
Replace email with the real email address of your friend and the fingerprint you can retrieve from his public key in GPG Keychain Access. Remove all spaces.
After that you might have to restart GPGMail.
Let us know if that worked.
Support Staff 22 Posted by Luke Le on 12 Jun, 2012 07:28 PM
Best is though, to ask your friend to update his key with his real email address.
23 Posted by Dario Puliero on 13 Jun, 2012 03:49 PM
Hi Luke and Steve,
I have run the command in Terminal and it is ok now!
Thank you both.
Bye bye,
Dario Puliero
