I can't speak to any shortcomings in its PGP support, as it's not something I personally use, but I've been using it as a MacMail/Thunderbird replacement since last September and have been quite satisfied.

ok, get info-raped by any and all then.
Consider this: 1. It's probably better to remain civil in your discourse if you want people to take you seriously, and not just dismiss you as a troll. If you really do feel so strongly about your position, then you're probably doing more harm than good to your cause by firing off such remarks. 2. I doubt that you personally communicate with everyone using encrypted email. If you do, your world is probably fairly ins…
Once you can count on contacts using GPG, the path to encrypting is much easier.
I'm still constantly surprised that this feature isn't ubiquitously built into mail clients by default and users don't get a big 'enable encryption' button which automates sane defaults/manages the keychain transparently. It doesn't seem like such a complicated abstraction that it needs so much manual setup
It was a fairly smooth workflow except for having to type in your passphrase in for everything.
The very first step, assuming you already have an email account, for all platform pages: >INSTALL THE ENIGMAIL PLUGIN FOR YOUR EMAIL PROGRAM I Googled Enigmail as I was not familiar with it. It is "a security extension to Mozilla Thunderbird and Seamonkey." This seems incredibly shortsighted. Tons of people out there are on Outlook, Apple Mail, Gmail, etc. and not interested in Thunderbird. There are other options, f…
I get and send ~ 10 to 15 emails per week. Not even 1 of my regular 'correspondence' uses GnuPG. It's too complicated to setup and even harder to use for avg Joe, like bitcoin, he has to spent time understanding totally new concepts. And no one is willing to do that, unfortunately :-(

It seems like teaching people to use GPG for the authentication is probably the first step. Sending to someone who doesn't use GPG then is still readable, and if you want to push the point with a particular person then every time they email you call them and say "I got an email, I wanted to be sure it was from you, since there was no signature..." Once you can count on contacts using GPG, the path to encrypting is mu…
To use GnuPG correctly you need explain to average Joe concepts like:
* PKI
* Key signing
* Web of trust
* Revocation key
Same problem I can't talk bitcoin with most of my real-life friends. They are incredibly smart people, but they are not familiar with key concepts about BTC and don't wanna wrap their minds around it when we're hanging out having fun.

It's true, Glenn Greenwald said that he almost gave up on Snowden's information because it was too hard to set up GPG correctly!
