Ubuntu :: Claws Mail - How To Setup GPG To Sign Emails Automatically
Aug 13, 2010
I recently decided to switch back to a stand alone email client from gmail. I started with thunderbird, which had a very intuitive user interface and was working fairly well, except for the fact that when it wasn't supposed to be doing anything, it was taking up about 40% of my CPU (this is after it had downloaded all the emails, so there really wasn't anything that needed that much cpu usage from my perspective). After investigating that a bit, I decided I'm going to go for something lighter, and now I'm trying to claws-mail. This one is fast and quick, with very little bells and whistle, and I think it has the potential of keeping me happy.
However, there are few things that I can't figure out how to do. The two main ones right now are: How do I make it download all the emails in at least the inbox folder? I'm using imap protocol with gmail, and I'm happy that the two mailboxes are very well synced, however the only thing it is downloaded by default is the email header, and not the content. I would like to be able to download the content immediately, so I can read the email offline as well. How can I set up GPG to sign my emails automatically? In claws-mail to sign my emails, I need to go to the Options->Privacy Options->PGP Mime, followed by Options->Sign. Is it possible to make this the default option?

I am suddenly experiencing problems with disappearing e-mails in Claws Mail. They seem to disappear somehow during the download process. Running Claws Mail from the terminal gives me the following errors, but I am not sure that this is related to the problems with my other accounts:
Code:
** (claws-mail:12020): WARNING **: [11:45:58] IMAP error on imap.gmail.com: STATUS error
** (claws-mail:12020): WARNING **: [11:45:59] IMAP error on imap.gmail.com: STATUS error
** (claws-mail:12020): WARNING **: [11:46:00] IMAP error on imap.gmail.com: STATUS error
I am using Claws Mail version 3.7.4 with Linux Mint 9 (LXDE). I have googled a lot, but I haven't been able to come up with a satisfactory answer. It may have something to do with some upgraded gnu utilities, but I am not sure what this is in reference to. BTW, all of my accounts use IMAP.

I get the following message when I try to send an e-mail with the option "PGP Sign" in Evolution:
Code: Select allCould not create message.
Because "gpg: skipped "67449612": No secret key gpg: signing failed: No secret key", you may need to select different mail options.
I have "Preferences > Mail Accounts > Edit > Security > OpenPGP key ID " set as 67449612, which is my subkey for signing, and this configuration has worked properly until two days ago when I upgraded a bunch of packages with evolution and gnupg among them. Since I am not sure this is really a bug or what package would it belongs to I am asking here first before submitting any bug.
I believe signing works and the secret subkey is "find-able" because I am actually able to do the following without any errors, and this is why I don't understand the error given by Evolution:
Code: Select all$ gpg --output random.sig --detach-sig random.txt
You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Rock Storm <rockstorm@gmx.com>"
4096-bit RSA key, ID 67449612, created 2016-02-21 (main key ID C96832FD)
$ gpg --verify random.sig random.txt
gpg: Signature made Sun 28 Feb 2016 11:47:47 AM CET using RSA key ID 67449612
gpg: Good signature from "Rock Storm <rockstorm@gmx.com>"
My gpg's keys configuration, notice that the "defaut-key" option in gpg.conf is commented out. This configuration worked for sending signed e-mails at least once before the upgrade.
Code: Select all$ gpg --list-keys rock
pub 4096R/C96832FD 2015-12-13
uid Rock Storm <rockstorm@gmx.com>
sub 4096R/7C2F5752 2015-12-13 [expires: 2018-03-12]
sub 4096R/67449612 2016-02-21 [expires: 2018-03-12]
[Code] ....
From the bunch of packages upgraded the ones I believe to be related to Evolution were the following:
Code: Select allgnupg:amd64 (1.4.20-3, 1.4.20-4)
evolution-data-server-common:amd64 (3.18.3-1, 3.18.5-1)
evolution-common:amd64 (3.18.3-1, 3.18.5-1)
evolution-data-server:amd64 (3.18.3-1, 3.18.5-1)
evolution-plugins:amd64 (3.18.3-1, 3.18.5-1)
libevolution:amd64 (3.18.3-1, 3.18.5-1)
evolution:amd64 (3.18.3-1, 3.18.5-1)
I searched current known bugs in Evolution and I could not find anyone related to this.
I tried downgrading it to the previous version but I wasn't able to downgrade every package related to Evolution. Curiously the previous version for some of them seems no longer available:
Code: Select all# apt-get -qq update
# apt-get -s install evolution-data-server=3.18.3-1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Version '3.18.3-1' for 'evolution-data-server' was not found
# apt-cache show evolution-data-server | grep -i version
Version: 3.18.5-1
Version: 3.12.9~git20141128.5242b0-2+deb8u2
Anyway, downgrading only the following four packages did not resolve the issue, and I am still getting the same message in Evolution:
Code: Select allDowngrade: evolution-common:amd64 (3.18.5-1, 3.18.3-1), evolution-plugins:amd64 (3.18.5-1, 3.18.3-1), evolution:amd64 (3.18.5-1, 3.18.3-1) libevolution:amd64 (3.18.5-1, 3.18.3-1)
Current package's state:

I work for a university institute and administrate its servers "incidently". Currently I am putting some work into our mail server configuration (sendmail 8.13.1 with amavisd-new-2.6.4). Recently I got amavis to verify DKIM signed mails. Now my plan was to sign outgoing Emails ourselves. This is what I have done (I replaced some names for privacy reasons):
I created a private key:
Code:
/usr/local/amavisd/amavisd genrsa /var/dkim/SEL1_DKIMkey.pem
Changed permissions for the user running amavis:
Code:
chown -R vscan.vscan /var/dkim/ && chmod -R 700 /var/dkim
Editet my /etc/amavisd.conf:
[Code]....
Send Testmails to sa-test@sendmail.net and check-auth@verifier.port25.com . They automatically create answer mails considering signature information.
Send emails to my external account at some other provider.
The problem is that amavis is not signing the mails. Both automatic test emails reported, that the mail had not been signed. The mail to my external account also did not contain any DKIM information.
"My" system:
Code:
# uname -r & cat /etc/issue
2.6.9-89.0.11.ELsmp
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 8)

I can't encrypt my e-mails in Claws Mail (3.7.8, slackbuilds.org) on my Slackware 13.1 system. I have the PGP/Core and PGP/MIME plugins loaded. I can verify the signatures of incoming messages and sign outgoing messages, but not encrypt them. Even though there is only one key associated to the recipient's email, Claws can't find it and the "Select Key" dialog displays an empty list of keys.

I am using Claws Mail version 3.7.3 on Ubuntu 9.10. In the last few days, replies that I receive often have the original (quoted) text replaced with an ellipsis [ ... ]. For example, I see: Where the ellipsis is a hyperlink (?), that when double-clicked displays the remainder of the message, as Claws had normally been doing: If I forward the message, everything is included / shown, as expected. It's very annoying to have this program suddenly start behaving this way: When I receive / read a reply, I want to see the entire message ('thread') displayed, not this [... ] ellipsis (hidden original message(s)).

I just started using suse, so a few questions claws-mail 3.7.5, I have no print capabilities, there is no print icon showing, also the spam filter is greyed out. I have loaded bogofilter, but I noticed the amount of rpms listed is much less than my last distro, including the advanced filtering. Are these rpms on another repo somewhere.

I had claws mail 3.7.6 installed with mint 10 and all was well. I use gmail with ssl and was no problem. I wanted to download some add-ons for claws, but most were only compatible with version 3.7.8, so I downloaded and installed 3.7.8 only to find that it doesn't support ssl connection, so I can't use it for my gmail account.

Until the latest update to php, claws-mail was running fine. Since updating php through slackpkg, Claws will start but as soon as a message is selected it crashes with the following message (caught in terminal)
root[/]# claws-mail
Newmail plugin loaded
Message header summaries written to /home/pat/Mail/NewLog
Segmentation fault
root[/]#
As usual, I'm lost and wandering in the darkness.

I want to change the polling order of my two email accounts, but I can't figure it out. I have two IMAP accounts in Claws-Mail, one for work and one for 'other'. The work account is set as default. It is uppermost in the left pane. It is marked 'MH', which I think is to do with storage of the downloaded emails. Claws-Mail always polls my 'other' account first. This takes ages and prevents me getting my work email. How can I make sure the work account is polled first?

I just upgraded from fc11 to fc12 with a great deal of trouble...finally am partially functional. The problem really bugging me is the missing claws-mail toolbar that shows "tools", addressbook, encrypt/decrypt, and especially the ability to load plugins, and set all preferences. I have tried uninstalling & reinstalling but nothing provides the toolbar I need. Yum does not provide anything new either. As most of my important passwords are encrypted, and I need the claws pgp plugin to be loaded.

I'm trying to install the plug-in Gtkhtml2Viewer on my Debian Lenny system for claws-mail. I have installed claws-mail 3.7.5 from backports. When I try to install the plug-in, I get the following response:
Code:
mark@debian:~/stuff/debs/source/gtkhtml2_viewer-0.27$ ./configure
[..]
checking for GNU gettext in libc... yes
checking whether to use NLS... yes
checking where the gettext function comes from... libc
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for CLAWS_MAIL... configure: error: Package requirements (claws-mail >= 3.4.0.1) were not met:
No package 'claws-mail' found.
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables CLAWS_MAIL_CFLAGS
and CLAWS_MAIL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.
mark@debian:~/stuff/debs/source/gtkhtml2_viewer-0.27$
Since I have version 3.7.5, I would think that the above cited requirement of "claws-mail >= 3.4.0.1" would be met. However, for some reason, it states that "No package 'claws-mail' found", which is strange.

I'm not sure why it didn't find ANY package of claws-mail. Further, 3.7.5 should be good enough, since it is newer than the required 3.6.1.27.

I've got a problem with the Claws-mail client. Couple of days ago I have updated the client to its newest version 3.7.8. Because I couldn't find a ready-made package for Slackware 13.0 I've downloaded the source, unpacked to a folder and using src2slack created a package. Package has been created using default settings. And when done upgraded as it should be with upgradepkg. And it was very nice until I've noticed that Claws didn't load into the tray.
Went into plugin loading screen and saw that the trayicon plugin isn't loaded. This one is easy I thought and loaded the plugin. And then it happened. The plugin didn't load but instead it spit out this message: "The following error occurred while loading Trayicon.so : /usr/lib/claws-mail/plugins/trayicon.so: undefined symbol: gtk_status_icon_set_title". I've found what this symbol should do (or so I think) but it doesn't get me anywhere. I would really like to drop claws into the tray.

I've tried this several times and cannot get claws-mail to run. Libetpan has been installed, removed and re-installed. When trying to start c-mail it say cannot find libetpan.so.13 which is accurate - the current installation of libetpan puts in libetpan.so.15. These packages all come from slackbuilds (have also tried Alien's package wtih the same results). This a standard 13.1 install with regular updates through slackpkg.

I haven't logged on to Fedora for a few days, but I did this morning and opened claws mail and clicked 'get mail' and it proceeded to download new messages. However, when I clicked on the inbox folder, the email count changed to zero! No email. I checked and found the folderlist.xml has the correct Mail folder location, and when I went to that location, (on a shared data partition) indeed the 'inbox' folder was EMPTY. No files at all. I'd had a similar issue once, but the email #MH location wasn't correct, so when I fixed it, the email appeared. I did a web search and a search of the claws bugzilla.
The closest I came was a message about the cache not keeping accurate information. There was a claws-mail update at the end of May, but it had been working fine since then up until now. And, it's possible it's some sort of Fedora issue (?), because I had opened my 'home' folder on my desktop to check the claws folder, and now I see that there's a gaping hole on my desktop where that folder should be. I can get there by clicking 'places' and 'Home Folder'. Any other reports of disappearing folders and email?

i'm currently using the claws mail rssyl plugin to manage my rss feeds, but i have two issues with it:
1) when i delete an rss item it reappears when i refresh the feed
2) when i mark all posts of a feed as read, a little while later (for example) 5 of the 20 items become new/unread again. these unread items are random (not the latest posts)
the only pattern i can see (regarding issue #2) is that it only affects feeds hosted on videos. i'm thinking of finding a different application to manage my rss feeds, but it is nice to have email and feeds in once place.

I have two server:
Webserver w1.domain.com: Debian 6, Apache2, Postfix
Mailserver m1.domain.com: Debian 6, Postfix
Postfix in Webserver is using Postfix as relay, next, Mailserver is sending emails ok when I use phpmail in any "virtual domain", but I have a few problems that I don't know how to fix...
1) If I send a phpmail from the "default domain", it is not working (no Postfix has log acitivity).
2) If I send an email using phpmail function without a from, the from will be www-data@w1.domain.com. Because I am hosting lots of virtual domains, I really need to use as "sender (From)" a mailbox named: whatever@hostedvirtualdomain.com.

I run Ubuntu with Unity. I see a Mail Notification applet in the tray that announces unread mail (from Evolution) and incoming IMs from Empathy. I uninstalled both programs, and replaced the IM program with Pidgin. (I don't have a preferred email client yet.)
Now Pidgin lets me know whether I have received new email messages from the services it is connected to. These notifications show up in the Buddy List window. Is there a way to get Pidgin to use the Mail Notification applet instead? I read in their site that "Pidgin was not designed to be an email client" but it would seem that all the pieces are in place to reroute those notifications to the mail notification applet.
Optionally, it would also be cool if when I clicked on those notifications, a browser window would open up to the webmail account the notification came from. (I have both Windows Live and Gmail accounts.)

It is the strangest thing. I can not receive emails on this server after it has been up for an hour. I noticed that everytime and email is received that a sshd opens but never closes. Causeing a memory issue that I dont know how to fix. Also the mailq grows and grows. Mostly with email stating the recipient and send are both [URL].. also postmaster@mail.jmchd.com shows mail system configuration error. I have to restart the server every 30 minutes so users can get and send emails. This is horrible because for every 5 minutes out of the hour emails are bouncing.i have looked through them but I know not what I am looking at.
PS. I was thrown into the position and have limited knowledge. I am used to a GUI.
