GPGMail: in Mail even after nightly build the lock is greyed out
after updating and installing, I can see the sign-icon (and use it), but not the lock icon to encrypt the mail. See screenshot attached. I’m running Mac OSX 10.11.6 and iMail.
Expected
activation of lock to encrypt should be possible

Hi N,
welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.
What happens when you enter your own email address (the one you created a key for) in the recipient field?
All the best,
steve

When entering my own mail address in recipient ("TO:") field, it unlocks itself.
Hmmm.. didn't think of that... So I can only encrypt when I have stored the keys of other contacts which do have a key shared? Right?

For new users, we suggest to take a few minutes (and a cup of tea) and go through the Getting Started Tutorial, which explains all the basics of how mail encryption works.
In order to encrypt a message you indeed do need to have the public key of the recipient.
Kindly,
steve
