I haven't used `brew`'s `gpg` so can't comment on that. You may find it 
easier to get started with Mac GPGTools


- https://gpgtools.org

They talk about a purchase, that's just for the plugin for Apple Mail 
(no plugin needed for MailMate); otherwise it's free software.

[MlMt] PGP/GPG signing and encrypting

[Eric A. Meyer]

Hey gang,

For reasons, I decided to add OpenPGP-based signing and encrypting to 
MailMate.  Except, I know next to nothing about how to make that 
actually work.


I think I successfully installed gnupg with Homebrew, since the error 
messages I got in MailMate changed from "can't find gpg" to other stuff, 
but I'm still getting error messages when I try to encrypt-- and I still 
haven't worked out how one signs a new message without fully encrypting 
it.


I generated a public-private key pair using https://pgptools.com/ and I 
_think_ I imported their .ASC files into gpg, but again, I'm not clear 
if I did it properly.


All of this being a long-winded way of asking: does anyone have a gentle 
total-n00b's intro to getting this working?  Command line is fine with 
me, if that's the best path.  Also not wedded to the public/private key 
paid I generated online, since I've not shared the public key with 
anyone, so I'm happy to generate a new pair locally if that's 
recommended.

[MlMt] Moving ~/Library/ApplicationSupport/MailMate/Messages

[Raza Rizvi]

Hi,

There was some discussion about 
~/Library/ApplicationSupport/MailMate/Messages and a lack of disk space 
(caused for me by caches for Arqbackup and Anydesk hidden incoming 
folder rather than just Mailmate) meant I checked again what was 
consuming large amounts of space on my boot disk.


As MailMate keeps a local copy of all the messages in your accounts (and 
like many here I have multiple accounts) that consumes a lot of space - 
42GB in my case.


~/Library/ApplicationSupport/MailMate/Messages is itself an alias 
pointing to ~/Library/ApplicationSupport/MailMate/Messages.noindex which 
raises the obvious question that perhaps some of you have tried moving 
the alias to point to a directory on a different SSD. If so, were there 
any problems?

[MlMt] Death ball

[aisrael]

I am currently using Mailmate (1.13.2/5726) on a computer running 
Mojave. Since a few weeks, when I either open a window for a new mail, 
answer an email or try to forward it, the coloured ball starts spinning 
for ~10 s, which is quite annoying. Has anyone seen that? Is there a 
solution to get rid of this problem?
