<p>Sounds like everyone screwed the pooch w/r/t Catalina. </p>
<p>Except, perhaps, Thunderbird...haven't tried it on macOS in years.</p></div>cliff1976tag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/478068212019-11-08T09:30:39Z2019-11-21T16:38:06ZUpdate/outlook on Catalina support<div><p>I'm not sure what the reason is. There have been beta versions of Catalina since summer 2019.</p>
<p>At the moment I see 3 possible workarounds:</p>
<p>1) Install VMWare or Parallels and a VM with Mojave - just for email.<br>
2) Use Thunderbird on MacOS with the Enigmail plugin<br>
3) Applescript folder action on the downloads folder to watch for *.asc files, decrypt them and open the result in Apple Mail.</p>
<p>Obviously you cannot reply encrypted with #3.</p>
<p>I started with #1, but it was too much stress for my laptop. So now I'm using #3 for reading and #2 for writing emails.</p></div>hiemstratag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/478068212019-11-08T18:20:20Z2019-11-08T18:20:22ZUpdate/outlook on Catalina support<div><p>Eine weitere Möglichkeit ist die Nutzung des Mail-Programms eM Client.

You just have to install Thunderbird from <a href="https://www.thunderbird.net">https://www.thunderbird.net</a>, configure it to be able to access the pgp-encrypted e-mails and install 'Enigma Plugin' in Thunderbird. It's done in 2 min. Afterwards you'll have an alternative e-mail frontend for GPG-mail. I use it to read and write pgp-encrypted and -signed emails since I updated to catalina ;-)</p></div>gerhard.hassensteintag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/478068212019-11-09T20:22:29Z2019-11-09T20:22:30ZUpdate/outlook on Catalina support<div><p>Well...

So do I. I'm switching to Thunderbird while GPG-Tool plugin is not working after a MAC OSX update, which is not the first time ;-) and because Thunderbird is so easy to install - and will get even easier when PGP-support will get native - thanks to Doris about that hint!)

<p>I cite here from the Enigmail User Discussion Email List, Patrick Brunschwigs Mail from 08.10.2019:</p>
<p>The Thunderbird developers have announced that they will implement<br>
OpenPGP support in Thunderbird 78 [1]. Support for Thunderbird in<br>
Enigmail will therefore be discontinued.</p>
<p>I'd like to explain in the following paragraphs what this will mean for<br>
Enigmail, and why this is an inevitable step.</p>
<h2><a name="the-future-of-enigmail-" class="anchor" href="#the-future-of-enigmail-"></a>The Future of Enigmail</h2>
<p>I will continue to support and maintain Enigmail for Thunderbird 68<br>
until 6 months after Thunderbird 78 will have been released (i.e. a few<br>
months beyond Thunderbird 68 EOL). Enigmail will not run anymore on<br>
Thunderbird 72 beta and newer.</p>
<p>Will this be the end of Enigmail?</p>
<p>No! I will continue to maintain and support Enigmail for Postbox, which<br>
is running on a different release schedule than Thunderbird for the<br>
foreseeable future.</p>
<h2><a name="why-is-this-happening-" class="anchor" href="#why-is-this-happening-"></a>Why Is This Happening?</h2>
<p>The Mozilla developers have been and still are actively working on<br>
removing old code from their code base. This affects not only<br>
Thunderbird itself, but also add-ons. While it was possible for<br>
Thunderbird to keep old "legacy" add-ons alive for a certain time, the<br>
time has come for Thunderbird to stop supporting them [2]. Thunderbird<br>
78 will no longer to support the APIs that Enigmail requires and only<br>
allow new "WebExtensions".</p>
<p>WebExtensions have a completely different API than classical add-ons,<br>
and a much reduced set of capabilities to hook into the user interface.<br>
For Enigmail to continue to work, it would therefore be required to<br>
rewrite it from scratch. However, that's beyond my available time<br>
limitations.</p>
<p>The Thunderbird developers and I have therefore agreed that it's much<br>
better to implement OpenPGP support directly in Thunderbird. The set of<br>
functionalities will be different than what Enigmail offers, and at<br>
least initially likely be less feature-rich. But in my eyes, this is by<br>
far outweighed by the fact that OpenPGP will be part of Thunderbird and<br>
no add-on and no third-party tool will be required.</p>
<p>-Patrick</p>
