Hi Tibi, unfortunately I don’t have the sources for this package anymore.
It was “adopted” by Colin Leroy 2 years ago and since then it is in the official maemo repository.
You should try to contact him (or the current package maintainer if Colin is not maintaining it anymore) for support.
Also I think you can download the source package from maemo garage site.

I have the same problem others have described in http://talk.maemo.org/archive/index.php/t-60379.html

Q: Can you post yours sources, so someone else can continue our work and fix the maemo5 version?

I will document the workaround as soon as I fix my installation.

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.

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

Colin: OK. I’ve sent you e-mail with the claws-mail-pgp debian source package.

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

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

@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

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.
