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.

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 :/

but, i got lost at step 3.
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.
