<p>However, in Outlook 2011 under tools/accounts/advanced/security,
Outlook provides the user with an integrated approach which only
requires the user to select the necessary certificates for these
actions. Unfortunately, the only certificates shown are those int
he Apple Keychain Access and although it does allow the user to
select other certificates, for some reason, it does not recognize
the GPG exported keys. Is that because the GPG is user signed and
does not include a third party CA? Anny thoughts on how to make
this work would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.</p></div>dajeniktag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/364787302015-05-02T17:51:07Z2015-05-02T17:51:07ZMac Outlook 2011 Support<div><p>Hi Dajenik,</p>
<p>I think here's a misconception in usage of S/MIME certs and
OpenPGP keys, which are not the same thing.</p>
<p>I think what you describe is Outlook supporting S/MIME certs. If
you have to use Microsoft Outlook on your mac, I think Symantec's
Encryption Desktop software supports that.</p>
<p>GPG Suite comes with GPGMail which integrates into Mail.app.
Another alternative is Thunderbird with the Enigmail plugin.</p>
<p>Or you could use GPGServices as a workaround: <a href="https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/kb/gpgservices-faq/how-to-encrypt-and-sign-text-or-files-with-gpgservices">

supported both S/MIME and PGP if the certs were made available in
the Apple Keychain Access. Apparently a bad assumption on my part;
I should've known better given Microsoft's past track record. I've
used Enigmail and I like Thunderbird but as with many I was nudged
onto the MS Outlook path and was simply looking for a solution.
I've used the service approach and it does work just not
integrated. Thanks for you prompt reply.</p></div>dajeniktag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/364787302015-06-02T12:37:51Z2015-06-02T12:37:51ZMac Outlook 2011 Support<div><p>Well you are free to choose your mail client. Mail.app works
most fluent and GPGMail integrates nicely. Thunderbird is fine as
well.</p>
<p>Maybe you want to give mail.app a try. You can always switch
back.</p>
<p>Closing this discussion. If you have more questions you can
always re-open or create a new discussion.</p></div>Steve
