Hello,

So far (so far is several years) I find it to work fine with GPG. You can try to send an
encrypted mail to me: do in console "gpg ----recv-keys 0x8EE1E12C".

In your file ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf you would have to add:

"encrypt-to 0x<here your public id>" if you want to be able to read again what you sent.

(ie: I put "encrypt-to 0x8EE1E12C" at the end of my configuration file).

I also have gpgme installed. (GPG made easy).

And I also install/use bogofilter, then I configure Sylpheed to use
bogofilter to filter spam and select the junk folder for this purpose.

Regards,
Mélodie
