We never pass on any data to third parties without authorization." void.

#7In fact you can't use gpg in mailbox.org when you send an email. Gpg is only used to encrypt your mailbox (it encrypts the emails you receive) which is kind of weird. You can of course use GPG in command line or with an external program.
