Hi there. As yet I haven't installed GPGMail and if I do I will initially install and uninstall on a test system because I need to understand what files go where. But first I'd like clarification on emailing between OSX and iOS devices. If I encrypt using GPGMail on OSX will I be able to read and reply encrypted emails on an iPhone using IPGmail or oPenGP, and vice versa?

   Hi Jim,

   yes you will. Both solutions do work. They are not beautiful, but get the job done.

   Best, steve

   Thanks for clarifying. Regarding install/uninstall, is there a link where I can read what files are installed, and can you confirm the uninstall app totally removes every file that is installed?

   Hi Jim,

   unfortunately the Uninstaller is currently not removing everything, but we'll update it soon, and then it will.

   Trying to give you a complete list now of what is installed:

   GPGServices -> /Library/Services/GPGServices.service
   GPGMail -> /Library/Mail/Bundles/GPGMail.mailbundle
   GPG Keychain Access -> /Applications/GPG Keychain Access.app
   MacGPG2 -> /usr/local/MacGPG2 and symlinks:
   - /usr/local/bin/gpg2

   • /usr/local/bin/gpg

   GPGPreferences -> /Library/PreferencePanes/GPGPreferences.prefPane

   A variety of LaunchAgents:
   - /Library/LaunchAgents/org.gpgtools.Libmacgpg.xpc.plist - /Library/LaunchAgents/org.gpgtools.gpgmail.patch-uuid-user.plist - /Library/LaunchAgents/org.gpgtools.macgpg2.fix.plist - /Library/LaunchAgents/org.gpgtools.macgpg2.shutdown-gpg-agent.plist - /Library/LaunchAgents/org.gpgtools.macgpg2.updater.plist

   Preferences files in:
   - ~/Library/Preferences/org.gpgtools.gpgmail.plist - ~/Library/Preferences/org.gpgtools.gpgservice.plist - ~/Library/Preferences/org.gpgtools.common.plist

   Helper in Application Support:
   - /Library/Application Support/GPGTools

   Libmacgpg Framework:
   - /Library/Frameworks/Libmacgpg.framework

   This is a lot of stuff and we're certainly trying to find a way to reduce the number of files, but at least the future uninstaller will take care that everything is removed.

   Whew, that's a lot of files. I did go ahead and install but wish I hadn't. Are you saying there will soon be an updated uninstaller that will be able to retroactively remove all files that the current installer installed? I hope this is the case otherwise it's a lot of manually work!

   The uninstaller is now fixed and will be included in the next stable release of the GPG Suite.
