E-Mail encryption doesn't work

I have installed the gnupg suite on my Sony Xperia 10. I have also imported the private key. In the general settings I can select the key for authentication or encryption. When I now open the SFOS mail program, I can send the message (supposedly encrypted), but the message arrives unencrypted.

What have I overlooked? I would be very grateful for any tips.

That is the functionality that is there, encryption is not supported in the Jolla Email app.

To obtain encrypted Mails would mean I have to use Mutt if I don’t want to activate Android enviroment?

Hello!

I recently joined the beta of Lacre, the tool with which Disroot is implementing encryption on its mail servers DisNews 24.11 - Lacre open beta | Disroot.org.

I noticed that the Sailfish mail client allows signing emails with the PGP key (by installing the jolla-email-crypto-gnupg package), but does not allow encrypting and decrypting emails.

Are there any plans to support it? Now all the mails I receive in my disroot account arrive encrypted and I would need to be able to decrypt them, so for the moment I would have to use an Android client.

Copy Decryption of GPG mail in jolla-mail?

I’ve added decryption in the client. It should be part of 5.0.0. I’ll add encryption after I finish reworking credential retrieval through single sign on (currently a patch, that I’m trying to upstream).
