Title: Making PGP work with Tormail. Please Help
Post by: The Hook Up on September 20, 2012, 03:32 pm
I have been trying to set up PGP with my tormail account. Without success.

I have asked SR support bout it, they replied:

You can access tormail through the Tor browser, and a separate PGP encryption program to encrypt your messages before copying them into the browser.
~SR Support

Since im not tech savvy, HELP? Im a noob..
(I am a mac user)
(I don’t know much about PGP at all even know I been trying to read about it. I’m sure I’m having way more difficulties then I really should have). :(

I have installed http://www.gpgtools.org/

It seems like I have to use mail.app but I couldn’t set up my tor email with mail.app

So then I tried to follow this forum:

http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/threads/604845-9-Easy-Steps-An-OSX-Tutorial-for-Setting-up-Tormail-with-Thunderbird-Enigmail

and downloaded thunderbird. Followed all the steps. It still did not work for me.

Any suggestions or comments? I’m just trying to set up my PGP with tormail, so I can be safe as possible ☺ I APPRECIATE any help. Thank you.

Ask me any questions, I’m sure my explanation wasn’t nearly as good as it should have been :/

3) Instructing OpenPGP/Enigmail as to how to treat incoming/outgoing messages

We're still at the Accounts page. Select an account from the left-hand pane by clicking on it. Click on OpenPGP from the top-most menu.

Im having issues with finding OpenPGP. i looked all over. :/
