What does the status bubble in GPGMail indicate?
GPG Mail shows a color indicator bubble in Mail > Settings > GPG Mail
. Clicking the bubble opens this very KB-article. Any other color than green means user action is required and chances are high, GPG Mail is not operating as expected.
Groovy (green): all systems up and operational ✨
MacGPG 2 not found (red): Please reinstall GPG Suite ⬇️
GPG not working as expected (orange): Follow steps below ⚠️
The first step to resolve this, and this may sound like a clichee, is restarting your mac. Then open Mail and if the color indicator remains orange open System Settings > General > Login Items
and ensure the following items are active:
- fixGpgHome
- GPGSuite_Updater
- org-gpgtools.Libmacgpg
- shutdown-gpg-agent
Should your problem persist open System Settings > GPG Suite > Send Report
and describe your problem in as much detail as possible. Please include the Debug Log. We will then help you out getting your setup fixed.
