Hi guys,

i have installed the current stable release 2019.2 on Catalina 10.15. However, on my current default account, mail doesnt show the plugin under the "enable plugin list" (installation protocol attached).

The curious part is, if i create a new user and install it there, mail finds the plugin.

Any idea what could be the problem?

Kind regards

steffen

    Hi Steffen,

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

    We have received reports about GPGMailLoader.mailbundle not being shown in Mail > Preferences > Manage Plug-Ins… This can happen on systems where SIP (System Integrity Protection) was disabled during installation of GPG Suite.

    The solution is to enable Full Disk Access and after that running a Terminal command.
    Steps:

    1. Close Mail.app
    2. Open System Preferences › Security › Privacy
    3. Enable Terminal under Full Disk Access
    4. Restart Terminal when prompted

    5. Run the following command:

      rm -rf ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/DataVaults

    6. Open Mail

    The loader bundle should now be visible.

    Please let me know if that is then the case for you. if successful feel free to remove Terminal.app from the Full Disk Access list.

    All the best,
    Steve
