Will not work on macOSX Sierra
Note from GPGTools, December 30
Hi all,
yesterday, December 29th, we have sent an email to all of the
watchers in this discussion.
Unfortunately we couldn't simply use our support platform to notify
all watchers, since we were told that if the number of watchers
exceeds a certain amount, no more email notifications will be
sent.
Once we have received some feedback from our users, we will release
the beta on our website and also through our beta update
channel.
To clarify some things mentioned in this discussion:
-
Crash reporting is optional. You will be asked if you want to opt-in the first time GPGMail discovers a crash.
-
The reports certainly do not include any keys (neither secret nor public). They are standard macOS crash reports and you can find them under ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/ to see what they look like
For those who just recently subscribed to the discussion, the email from yesterday is reproduced in full below.
Hope you all have a good start into the new year. Enjoy your celebrations!
<3 and ☀

GPGMail for macOS 10.12 Sierra (Beta 1)
=======================================
A long year is coming to an end and we are all looking forward to some cosy and fun festivities to welcome the new year.
But before, we wanted to finally reward your patience. So after a painful and long waiting time, extensive reverse engineering and re-writing of major parts of our codebase, we are very happy to share the first beta of GPGMail for macOS Sierra with you.
Download:
https://releases.gpgtools.org/GPG_Suite-2016.12b1.dmg
SHA256: 2bb29067e7f2705a51b22f23080ca767bba4735ce16711a7d950e582737e8aaf
GPG Signature: https://releases.gpgtools.org/GPG_Suite-2016.12b1.dmg.sig
As with every beta we don't recommend using it in a production environment just yet, since bugs and crashes may occur.
Please report any bugs you find via System Preferences > GPGPreferences > Send Report.
We have added optional crash reporting to GPGMail in order for us to better understand when and where crashes are occuring.
We wish you the very best and happy festivities,
your GPGTools Team
=====
KNOWN ISSUES
* If multiple private keys are available for the same email address, GPGMail currently picks one at random to sign the message
* Some messages might not load correctly. If you can provide us with an example .eml file we'd love to debug the issue.
* If you cancel the pinentry request for signing upon sending a message it might lead to unexpected behavior
* Inline PGP is currently not supported at all, PGP/MIME will be used instead
* "BCC" recpients are currently not treated differently from "TO" or "CC" recipients (gnupg --hidden-recipients option not currently in use)
* The GPGMail Preferences layout is a bit wonky (Mail -> Preferences -> GPGMail)
* Keys that are imported using gnupg cli or GPG Keychain might require a restart of Mail in order to be picked up by GPGMail
* Mail rules for signed or encrypted messages will not work for PGP/MIME signed/encryted messages.
To receive further betas, make sure you are on the beta update channel. Open System Preferenes > GPGPreferences and in the Updates section check the option to 'Include beta builds'. Consider enabling auto-updates to ensure you receive notifications about further beta updates.

Can anyone recommend an alternative?
1504 Posted by Stan on 12 Dec, 2016 02:21 PM
I want to be noticed when the new version will be compliant with Sierra.
1505 Posted by PerryD on 12 Dec, 2016 02:48 PM
@jd, Thunderbird with the Enigmail plugin works just fine. I hadn't looked at Thunderbird for years, but it's really stepped up its game; I'm finding that I prefer it to MacOS Mail.
My biggest concern with the GPGTools Mail solution is that it doesn't use an established API (and I understand that there isn't one), which means it is basically a hack. Mail must be reverse-engineered every time there is a change that breaks GPGTools, which means that I have to trust the skill of the GPGTools team not to break something else or open a new vulnerability.
I didn't realize this until Sierra. Probably the GPGTools stated previously how they were plugging into Mail, but for me at least the method wasn't exposed until this broken release.

I have shifted to Thuderbird as well for the interim. I prefer to have Apple support encrypted e-mail so I can use it on all devices. Send them an enhancement request to define and support a set of stable APIs for this purpose.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Apple won't respond without good solid customer feedback and a known desire for a feature. Reverse engineering mail every release is a tedious process and the GPG Tools team has been doing a great job. Apple, is the one not helping out here.

If there's not enough time or resources, how about selling the software? Can't wait any longer... this gets embarrassing

Me too
1519 Posted by Camil on 13 Dec, 2016 09:39 PM
The project is public on GitHub. https://github.com/GPGTools/GPGMail. You can better track the progress there.
1520 Posted by Oliver on 14 Dec, 2016 08:03 AM
Thanks for the works that's already done. I look further to the new version und would like to be informed.

I'm about to give up on using Mail for Mac and switch to PostBox.
1528 Posted by Giancarlo on 14 Dec, 2016 03:25 PM
more speed because the new o OSX is coming.
1529 Posted by STOW your IT aw... on 15 Dec, 2016 09:46 AM
+1 PS : Thinking also about moving off Mail.app for PostBox too many non-sense with biz oriented mailboxes. Will just have to check integration with external iDevices aka Handsoff as well as Exchange accounts (delegation / out of office even considering to move unwillingly to Outlook which hasn't got shamefully any good CalDAV servers support - all connectors I've tried aren't convenient at all)…
