GpgOL

This is a plugin for Microsoft Outlook 2003 to integrate GnuPG and thus OpenPGP encryption and digital signatures. It has been written more or less from scratch and aims to replace the old and unmaintained plugin by G-DATA. It does not work with Outlook Express.

We are currently working on extending GpgOL to support S/MIME and Outlook 2007.

Installation

We don't provide an executable at this site anymore. Instead the plugin has been included into the Gpg4win project which provides a complete environment including the latest gpg versions and a graphical installer. Please visit www.gpg4win.org for installation instructions.

Known Problems

Here is a major problems we are aware of (2006-04-12):

• It does not work with versions of Outlook older than OL2003SP2.
• The version check which warns about too old Outlook versions does not work reliable. Make sure to use only OL 2003.
• When replying to the second message of a mail thread you might get a template with a another messages of the same thread.
