Having played with DeltaChat a bit myself (exporting the
public key for someone to use in their OpenGPG keyring),
I see that it would be best to use it with its own
dedicated email account inorder to avoid multiple keys
for the same email address.
Don't use your phone for email at all. That's what I do.
I don't see that as a problem or any different than using a pc.
But I do use OpenKeyChain or Pgpg on my Blackberry to preview
incoming encrpyted mail or even write simple replies.
I have separate email accounts for different purposes and
I use GPG encryption for anything particularly sensitive.
I use Mailvenlope with GMail (no big deal since the most
important part of the email is encrypted) and other email
I don't think I ever heard of Mailvelope. I suppose it
operates much like FlowCrypt? Same process, and same idea?
I just tried Mailvelope. I thought it might be handy if I need
to deal with encrypted messages whilst logged into my account
using the web-interface.
I don't see it any handier if I were to use Kleopatra. Infact,
I think Kleopatra might be better because then I wouldn't need
to manage a separate keyring that Mailvelope requires.
Kleopatra works with the existing OpenGPG setup.
accounts. I also use command-line GPG to encrypt files if
needed though the people I trust the most have an account
on my main FreeBSD server and we use SFTP to do that.
That is very handy indeed. I've used gpg for encrypting files
myself. But I often get lazy and just use the password/
encryption feature that 7Zip offers.
Always assume email is insecure even when using GPG. I've
used several encrypted email services like Protonmail but
in the end, it's all a big hassle and easier for me to
maintain encryption locally on my personal machine.
Protonmail is a good nobrainer way to get people started with
private mail.
I just tried Mailvelope with gmail. It looks like additional
steps are required such as creating a keypair for my @gmail.com
address. I thought I would just encrypt a body of text and
send it off - which I did, but it wouldn't allow me to see the
SENT copy complaining that a key for @gmail.com does not exist.
I think I'll stick with localized encryption methods. I don't
really need anything for gmail since I don't use it much
anyway.
Running FreeBSD gives me peace knowing some three-letter
US government agency isn't backdooring into my system
becaue the OS company has its lips firmly planted on the
NWO's ass. LOL
