No encryption or signing icons on Apple Mail (solution: double check email address used in key perfectly matches the one used in Mail.app > Preferences > Accounts)

I just installed GPG Suite 2017.1b3 on my MacBook Pro. (macOS Sierra) Installation went fine, but do not have any icons when I open up apple mail for encryption or signing.

I restarted mail, reinstalled suite and rebooted, but still no icons.

What did you expect instead

Describe steps leading to the problem.

Are you using any other Mail.app plugins?

    Hi Tony,

    welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.

    Could you please send a debug log from your affected machine: Open System Preferences > GPGPreferences / GPG Suite > Send Report. Check the box to "attach debug log". Since you already described your issue in this discussion, you don't need to add a lot of detail, but please do add the link to your existing discussion, so I can then merge your debug info with this existing discussion.

    All the best,
    steve

    Steve,
    I ended up fixing the issue. I had mis-typed my email address on my key. It did not match my email configured on my mail client.

    Once I changed it the icons appeared.

    Thanks
