<p>welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.</p>
<p>Have you closely followed our <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> regarding sending a first test mail?</p>
<p>Note that one requirement to encrypt an email is to have a recipient in the To: field for whom you do have a public key in your GPG Keychain.</p>
<p>All the best,<br>

<p>sure, I used it for years under 10.9 and everything was fine. I have my recipient's public keys in a directory, imported them and my own key as well.</p>
<p>I found out that one of my send-addresses works. but the other, which is included in my key as well (at least the GPG keychain tells me so), doesn't.</p></div>Dannytag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/427413452017-06-15T16:58:52Z2017-06-15T16:58:53ZGPGMail: GPG Mail 2017b3 doesn't encrypt mails on 10.12.4<div><p>Why does it actually depend on MY key whether I can encrypt a mail, when the crypto is applied by the recipient's public key?</p></div>Dannytag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/427413452017-06-16T12:36:10Z2017-06-16T12:36:10ZGPGMail: GPG Mail 2017b3 doesn't encrypt mails on 10.12.4<div><p>Hey Danny,</p>
<p>any outgoing mail is also encrypted with your own public key. Otherwise you would not be able to read any encrypted mails after sending them out.</p>
<p>First, let's check if your key is ok:</p>
<ol>
<li>open GPG Keychain<br></li>
<li>double click your sec/pub key<br></li>
<li>create a screenshot of the <strong>key tab</strong> (⇧⌘4 + drag w mouse)<br></li>
<li>create a screenshot of the <strong>subkey tab</strong><br></li>
<li>attach both screenshots to your discussion by visiting it in your browser</li>
</ol>
<p>Should your key have expired, please re-new the expiration date.</p>
<p>Should your subkey be expired, please create a new subkey.</p>
<ol>
<li>navigate to the subkey tab<br></li>
<li>click the "+" button below<br></li>
<li>confirm with "Generate subkey"</li>
</ol>
<p>After that send a signed and encrypted test mail to yourself. Are you able to decrypt and verify the signature successfully?</p>
<p>In case your key resides on the public key servers, don't forget to upload your updated key, so that the changes are reflected on the key servers.</p>
<p>Best regards,<br>
