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.

The lack of up-to-date progress is increasingly frustrating.
The lack of activity on GitHub (21 days w/o commit?) is increasingly concerning.
Plugging in here just in case, but I'm assuming this project has fallen apart.

Can we get an update? these +1s are really adding up.
1025 Posted by Peter on 09 Nov, 2016 07:17 AM
Can you post a short status update? Is this project still alive?

Please give an update on the progress. I am willing to pay for this software, if this accelerates the update process.

hey guys,
this project died and is no longer active.
I mean, there is no commit on github for a long time, there is no message here and answer to over a thousand people waiting, with the same question: how long does it take, to work with apple mail and the gpg suite? Thousands of workflows are broken.
The problem occurred not yesterday, the os x sierra beta was published over 3 months ago, and nothing happened here in this time. This is not how security works.

No complaint - willing to help, just throw us a bone...

@Paul Ronson you could always pick up the project and fix it yourself? I know its frustrating people, but the developers here could either be working on fixing this issue (plus their normal jobs and lives) or sat in a forum answering your +1's with "Still working on it, will update you when there is actual news"
Again, I hope everyone +1-ing and complaining are also raising this with Apple, make a documented API so this work is easier!

@davidcwest: actually no. even if it is a hobby project it is an importand one and a little more information would not hurt the development time.
the mailhub plugin also hat a big problem with sierra but they managed quite regular beta version some time ago and have a working version now.

ok @justme so this project that is run for free (donations are accepted still I believe) owes you something? If its so important for you as a company, pay someone to do it officially for you.... If you like to use it personally there are alternatives, use thunderbird and enigmail.
If this was an application I was buying I would expect more, its not. I believe the intention was for them to turn this into a paid for application, they have not I would guess at least partly due to these problems they have been having.

Does the project need some help? Donations of either money or time?
I love this project, and will help out in any way I can if it is stalled.
