    Outlook 2007 with PGP keys

    I just created a 4096bit pgp key from mail provider for my main account. How do I install these into Outlook 2007 so that people can't fake emails from me?

    You can use the Plugin "GPGol" which is in http://www.gpg4win.org/. The Plug-in places two switches for "encrypt" and for "Sign".

    It works also with the Microsoft Exchange server.

    It has been tested with "Microsoft Outlook 2003" and "Office2003 Service Pack 3". It works fine.

    Re: Outlook 2007 with PGP keys

    I'm having trouble getting PGP working with Outlook 2007:

    PGP Desktop 9.62 trial
    - does not decrypt earlier emails sent with GnuPG (converted from Thunderbird mailbox) even when pubring/secring are properly installed
    - Very expensive (USD 188) for just email pgp, imho
    - works as proxy - not as a plugin (my preference is plug-in for full offline/existing encrypted mails support)

    G-Data Oulook plugin for GnuPG
    - Can't get it to work at all with Outlook 2007 & GnuPG (hooks into Outlook 2007, but can't get it to handle key management and can't get it to decrypt/encrypt)

    Hushmail for Outlook
    - Requires yearly subscription from Hushmail
    - Only works with Hushmail accounts?

    Gpg4win
    - OUtlook plugin is beta (with big warnings, not good for important mails?)
    - can't get it to work with encryption on Outlook 2007 anyway

    Is there ANY working Outlook 2007 PGP implementation that just _works_ and doesn't cost an arm and a a leg?

    I was very happy with Thunderbird + GnuPG + Enigmail.

    Isn't there anything similar for Outlook 2007?

    PGP client software

    Recently I took a look at using X.509 PKI keys in conjunction with Outlook 2007, and I was amazed at how simple it was to implement--at least at an informal peer-to-peer level. Although I'm using Outlook 2007, the ability to use certificates to send/receive encrypted e-mail isn't new with the 2007 version, and this basic approach will work with virtually any Microsoft e-mail client, and in fact most other e-mail clients as well.
