5. Getting started

This chapter will illustrate how to get Enigmail up and running.

To use Enigmail, you first need to install GnuPG. GnuPG comes in two

flavours: the standard GnuPG (development branch v1.x) and GnuPG 2

(development branch v2.x). The former is the well-known and portable version

of GnuPG, while the latter is the enhanced version with additional features, but

harder to build and set up. Both flavours offer the same security level. You can

safely download and install the latest version (1.x) of the standard GnuPG.

Furthermore, if you don't already use it, you need to install a Mozilla mailclient

i.e. either Thunderbird or SeaMonkey, as you prefer. Other derivatives of the

Mozilla mailclient, for which Enigmail might work as well, also exist; however,

Enigmail is not officially supported for these derivatives.

You may install first GnuPG and then the mailclient, or vice versa.

5.1. Installing GnuPG

5.1.1. Installing GnuPG on Microsoft Windows

GnuPG provides a Windows installer. Download the latest stable version from

http://gnupg.org/download/index.en.html#auto-ref-2.

Once you have downloaded the installer, just double-click it to begin the

installation process. This is very straightforward; you can literally just keep

clicking Next until it's finished. You don't need to modify anything in the

configuration of GnuPG, neither; the default settings will work fine.

Learning how to use the command-line GnuPG is not required; once installed,

all operations will be achieved via Enigmail.

Some people prefer to use Gpg4win (http://www.gpg4win.org), a sibling

project to GnuPG, that in addition offers a GUI for key management, encryption,

and decryption. The Gpg4win installer also contains additional optional

components such as a certificate manager, plug-ins for MS mailclient and

browser, and a mailclient already integrated with the GnuPG plug-in.

Enigmail can use Gpg4win instead of GnuPG just as easily.

5.1.2. Installing GnuPG on Macintosh OS X

You have three basic ways to install GnuPG on OS X. Most users will choose

the first option.
