MailCloak for Mail Clients now in public beta!

MailCloak for Mail Clients, a cross-compatible cousin of MailCloak for Firefox, is the first GnuPG encryption plug-in which works in any email program, and it’s super easy to use too! You just install it on your Windows XP or Vista computer and then continue sending email with your current email client.

MailCloak supports: Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Foxmail, Eudora, Pegasus Mail, Lotus Notes, and more (we haven’t tested all email clients, but it works with everything we’ve tested).

To start using MailCloak for Mail Clients, you don’t have change a thing, just download, install, do a key exchange, and start sending strong GnuPG encrypted emails! MailCloak even works with your existing PGP keys.

Using MailCloak in Thunderbird

MailCloak for Mail Clients allows users of any POP3 or SMTP email service to use MailCloak’s GnuPG email encryption. GnuPG is strong PGP encryption with up to 4096 bit public keys, and MailCloak is compatible with all other GnuPG encryption programs, so with MailCloak you can send secure email to anyone on just about any platform.

MailCloak supports Outlook, Thunderbird, Eudora, and more (we think it supports all POP3/SMTP mail clients, but we can’t test them all).  If you use webmail, like Yahoo! mail or Gmail, try MailCloak for Firefox!

MailCloak GPG Encryption in Windows

We worked really hard to ensure using MailCloak for Mail Clients is easy as pie.

To use MailCloak for Mail Clients install it and fire up your mail client – which ever it may be.

At this point you should notice the MailCloak floating menu. Right click it to turn it on, and send an email. MailCloak will automatically attach your public key to this message if you don’t have the recipients public key, or encrypt the message if you do. When you are done sending encrypted messages, simply turn MailCloak off and write emails as usual.

To make MailCloak even easier, we’ve created an automated testing program called Cryptobot. Turn MailCloak on to attach your public key to all outgoing email, send Cryptobot an email, and wait for a reply to see what happens!
