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

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?</p></div>N Thijssentag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/423177482017-04-10T21:30:51Z2017-04-10T21:30:51ZGPGMail: in Mail even after nightly build the lock is greyed out<div><p>For new users, we suggest to take a few minutes (and a cup of tea) and go through the <a href="https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/kb/how-to/first-steps-where-do-i-start-where-do-i-begin-setup-gpgtools-create-a-new-key-your-first-encrypted-mail">Getting Started Tutorial</a>, which explains all the basics of how mail encryption works.</p>
<p>In order to encrypt a message you indeed do need to have the public key of the recipient.</p>
<p>Kindly,<br>
