Reverting / upgrading to GPGMail 4 after selecting "Keep GPG Mail 3"
I installed the RC for GPGMail 4 but, in the set up process, I managed to select the option to retain GPGMail 3 instead.
I would like to test GPGMail 4, but I cannot find a way to revert to it.
I have tried reinstalling the RC, but Mail.app shows only GPGMail 3.
(This is absolutely not urgent; I was hoping to test GPGMail 4 / give feedback but, as I'm on Mojave still, GPGMail 3 works just fine!)
Best wishes
Neil

Hi Neil,
that's a good question. 2019.2 introduces the possibility to deactivate GPG Mail. So in your case please open Mail > Preferences > GPG Mail and click deactivate. After a restart of Mail click Activate at the same location and select "Upgrade".
Let me know if that worked as expected.
Kind regards,
Steve

Hello Steve
Thanks for that!
Yes, that worked perfectly. On restarting Mail, I was shown the GPGMail 4 upgrade screen.
(As an aside, there is no test period for GPGMail 4 — it started in "Decrypt Only Mode", so I cannot test encryption without purchasing a new support plan. That's fine by me, as I think it's vital to support all your efforts in making GPGMail work with new version of macOS, but I am not sure if you expected a trial version to be available.)
Best wishes

Hmmm... perhaps clicking "Activate" would have started a trial. I am not sure. So possibly ignore me. As I'd purchased a support plan, I did not get to test that bit.

Hey Neil,
thanks for the update. Once GPG Mail 4 is loaded and you click activate you see a screen to either "Start Trial" or "Upgrade".
Glad this is solved for you. I'm closing this discussion. Should you need further assistance or have questions you can re-open this discussion here or open a new one any time.
Best,
Steve
