Hello. I have set up K-9 mail with my nephews and nieces, and I want encryption enabled by default when they send email to me.
I can set up encryption by default in Thunderbird (on my end). Is such a thing possible on K-9 so that no unencrypted mails get sent (and nothing needs to be turned on, ever), because I am still getting messages from them that are sometimes unencrypted. This defeats the purpose of using encryption.
I am using the latest available K-9 on f-droid.org along with the latest available OpenKeychain on f-droid.org. Is there a way to make it impossible for them to accidentally send me a plain text email from K-9? Thank you!
I have set up autocrypt on each device but k9 still requires the user to press the padlock icon to encrypt, so it turns green. I want this to be automatic.
Can anyone help?
If K-9 cannot automatically encrypt reliably, is there a mail program for android that does? As stated above, sending mail from Thunderbird is flawless with encryption enabled by default. With K-9 and OpenKeychain itâs problematic.
For anyone thatâs following this, the solution is to try another email app.
With encryption enabled by default in FairEmail, everything works as it should. No user input is ever necessary to turn encryption on. I dislike the interface in FairEmail, plus the fact that it has âproâ features that you canât use unless you buy it, but you canât have it all.
It should be options: âalways sign emailsâ and âencrypt emails whenever possibleâ - means, while we have receiverâs PK. I need this feature as in Thunderbird as in K-9 Mail.
maybe if you canât get the k-9 set up the way you want, you might want to try another email, like beeble.comâs private encrypted email, where you can send and receive encrypted emails and files (Iâm personally familiar with this email), or look for an analogue of similar services
