I’ve tried the GnuPG with Beta 395 and have the following notes and issues:
It was hard to find the info about starting the whole process with the new outlook - found some notes i remembered from a few months ago.
Starting the gpgOL-client setup was fine , the self-signed cert was created and i could verify its running on localhost. However, the step for adding the add-in is not very intuitive - it opens the Add-ins page but again had to refer to the notes to figure out I needed the xml. Some notes there would be great.
The Add-in page opens in browser only, not in the new outlook client (to add to it the new Outlook client is very annoying to find the add-in page).
However I haven’t been able to make the add-in work. Both in Web and on the desktop new Outlook app I get a message after some time of thinking that first “Something went wrong and we couldn’t start this add-in” and after clicking Retry it showed a message that “this add-in may not load properly, but you can still try to start it. After clicking Start it thinks for some seconds and returns the error “It looks like the webpage at https[://]localhost:5656/home?version=0.9.0&et= might be having issues, or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.“ Navigating to the page works but keeps on Loading screen. Am I doing something wrong here or missing a step ?
thanks for getting in touch. this add-in is still a bit cumbersome to get working, we’re still working on improving its usability. the next beta will have a much better UI and workflow. unfortunately, we are in some aspects bound to restrictions set by microsoft. for instance, we haven’t found a way yet to open the add-in configuration page in the new outlook client (which is basically a stripped down edge browser it seems). we don’t consider this a high priority issue though, as you only have to configure it once and can work with the client from then on if you prefer. it’s all in the same web-based account, so you don’t have to configure this multiple times.
if the add-in still isn’t working, is it possible that you don’t yet have a (secret) PGP key for the email address of your outlook account present? this is an open issue, the web client can’t match the outlook account without an available secret key for it. we’re aware it currently just fails without a proper error message, and are planning to offer to generate or import a key if it’s missing to resolve this properly. can you please check that?
btw, you’ll get more information from the running processes if you start the client from cmd.exe.
I’ve started the client from cmd and got some messages that I am pasting, maybe it can give you some perspective. I have both clients running classic and the new one and the encrypt/decrypt function works great in classic (got keys attached to the mail in Kleopatra). However, the results are still the same for the new one (+ a small feedback upon shutting down the client it doesn’t trigger cleanup of the server + the gpg-agent and keyboxd. have to stop those manually to have a clean restart).
Almost all of the times the message before restart was “org.kde.pim.libkleo: Kleo::KeyCache::RefreshKeysJob(0x2d73e847e70) RefreshKeysJob::done”
Only one time I got this as last message (before i restarted it):”kf.windowsystem: Could not find any platform plugin”
