Im trying to gather information on the best route to go with email encryption. I would just jump at PGP, but there are also Linux machines to be involved. I was testing out WinPT/GPG, and that works well, but there seem to be periodic glitches. Since many of the people that will be involved in sending/recieving encrypted company email are not technical, and some offsite, Id like something that involved the least support possible. Does anyone have any recomendations or sugestions?
We made very positive experiences with Thunderbird [1], Enigmail [2] and GnuPG [3]. Configurations reside in text files in the users' profiles. As an additional advantage it's cross-platform (runs at least on Linux, Windows and Mac OS X). We're using IMAP; I heard of some problems with POP3 and large inboxes but can't confirm them.
