Claws-Mail-PGP (OS2008)
PGP Core, PGP Inline and PGP MIME plugins for Claws Mail 3.7.0
which provides you support for encrypting, decrypting, signing,
verifying in Claws-Mail client for Maemo OS2008 using GnuPG.
Instructions:
1. You must have already installed gnupg and
claws-mail packages in your tablet (obvious right? 
)
2. You’ll need also the GPGMe library which I’ve
already compiled and packaged for you.
Download and install from here: libgpgme_1.1.8_armel.deb

3. Download and install the claws-mail-pgp package.
It is combined package with all three plugins for
Claws-Mail – PGP/Core,PGP/Inline,PGP/MIME.
Get it and install it from here: claws-mail-pgp_3.7.0_armel.deb
License: GPL
Edit: The Claws-Mail-PGP plugins are now part of
the official maemo extras repository. Thanks to Colin Leroy
If you don’t have it already in your Maemo apt sources list:
#chinook (4.0) extras
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ chinook free
deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ chinook free#diablo (4.1) extras
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ diablo free
deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ diablo free
4. Open Claws-Mail on your Nokia tablet.
Go to Configuration->Plugins.
Click on Load button and select ‘pgpcore.so’.
Click Open.
Then do the same for ‘pgpinline.so’ and ‘pgpmime.so’.
Now you should see on the left three plugins loaded:
PGP/Core
PGP/inline
PGP/MIME
Congratulations. You have PGP support in your
favourite e-mail client.

What means don’t works? Sure it works.
Describe your problem with details please.

The libgpgme package isn’t installable on Diablo – that’s what the program manager says.
January 4th, 2009 в 20:55 използвайки
Don’t use application manager. Be a man
1. Download libgpgme_1.1.8_armel.deb to some folder.
2. Open console/terminal, become root, go to that folder
3. Install it using: dpkg -i libgpgme_1.1.8_armel.deb
P.S: Anyway, I’ve changed the package. Now it should be installable via the application manager too.

Dear Sir,
first at all let me apologize for my down level on knowledge on programs use.
I had installed the Claws-Mail on Nokia N800, without any problems, even I upload the plugins for PGP.
Now I got 3 problems, first at all I would like to get the pdf user manual, in order to print it and study it, I notice I can get from the help section on Nokia N800, but if you can supply a link where I can download it directly from internet using my PC will be real great.
Second point, I was try to configure my gmail account ( consider that I connect the N800 to internet via Bluetooth using my UMTS mobile as modem ) and I put as pop.gmail.com and as smtp.gmail.com ( and even if the account over gmail allowed POP access ) when I try to connect it’s said “error certificated not valid” what I have to do ?
Third and final point to encrypt messages, I have to use the PGP Mine or the PGP Inline ?
Again I apoligize ro bring to you so many questions, but I real hope you could assist me.
Best regards
Alex

Hi,
Thanks for your work! I’m one of the Claws-Mail developer and I’d love to get your source packages (or */debian directories) for libgpgme and the plugins, in order to push them officially to Extras.
You can contact me at colin@colino.net. Thanks

Point 2: http://www.claws-mail.org/faq/index.php/Installation_and_Configuration#Does_Claws_Mail_work_with_Gmail_accounts.3F
Point 3: Either of those. PGP/MIME is preferred, PGP/Inline is deprecated.
Have a look on http://www.claws-mail.org/MLs.php for info on getting more help with Claws Mail.

@Paul: Thank you for helping Alex with the info and links
).
@Colin: I have an account in maemo extras and I was thinking about uploading packages there, but yesterday I was busy with repairing my n810 – I had to open it. I was scared if my tablet is bricked…but good news…..now it works fine (the LCD flex cable was slipped out
I think that it’s really better if you (as an Claws developer) maintain claws-mail-pgp in this repository – so I’ll contact you in the next days with the source/debian package for claws-mail-pgp. About libgpgme package I hope that I will upload it very soon to the maemo repository – so probably it should be there before claws-mail-pgp

MiCRoPhoBIC: yes, it’ll be great if you maintain the gpgme package, this way I’ll be able to focus on Claws packages. Good idea! and thanks again

MiCRoPhoBIC: I’ve found that gpgme is already in extras-devel for diablo, and I’m in the process of putting it in chinook too, then I should be able to build the PGP plugins packages easily. If everything works well, you’ll have nothing to do
January 8th, 2009 в 15:17 използвайки
Colin: OK. I’ve sent you e-mail with the claws-mail-pgp Debian source package.
January 8th, 2009 в 22:00 използвайки
Thanks to Colin Leroy claws-mail-pgp-plugins are now in the official maemo extras repository. I’ll disable the links to my build here.
Download it from repository with apt-get or application manager

How do I import a PGP key from my pc to my tablet?
January 21st, 2009 в 15:44 използвайки
Daniel, good question
For now there is no handy GUI to import your key/s in your tablet. Probably soon this will change but you can use command line commands to import your secret or private keys in your tablet. You can find the right syntax in the GnuPG manual here: http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual.html
There is another option: if you want to have copy of ALL of your secret/public keys from your PC to your tablet then you can simply copy the .gnupg directory from your home directory on your PC to your home directory on the tablet.
