    Hi Julian,

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

    You are probably referring to GPG Services. Please note that encryption will only work if the message is encrypted with the public key of the recipient and if the recipient has access to the corresponding secret key.

    This KB-article explains how to verify and sign a key. That way you ensure you are using the correct public key of your contact.

    Let me know if that info was helpful in getting this situation resolved.

    Best,
    Steve
