Scanning during this step will temporarily disable the header cache while opening each mailbox. This step occurs because header cached messages are not re-scanned for Autocrypt headers. For more details, see the compose menu section below.Īfter optionally creating an account, NeoMutt will prompt you to scan mailboxes for Autocrypt headers. Otherwise, you will need to manually enable autocrypt encryption in the compose menu. Autocrypt 1.1 allows automatically enabling encryption if Finally, it will ask whether this address should prefer encryption or not. $autocrypt_dir keyring, which will normally be empty during first run). Next, it will ask whether you want to create a new key or select an existing key.

Once the directory, keyring, and database are created, NeoMutt will ask whether you would like to create an account. Changing the variable can result in a situation where NeoMutt is looking in one place for the database and a different place for the GPG keyring, resulting in strange behavior. The database is created (if necessary) and connected to during startup. $autocrypt_dir variable is not designed to be changed while NeoMutt is running. $crypt_opportunistic_encrypt and Autocrypt at the same time. Having these keys mixed in with your normal keyring will make it more difficult to use features such as Web of trust” keys, Autocrypt keys are somewhat ephemeral, and the autocrypt database is used to track when keys change or fall out of use. Keys are automatically imported into the keyring from $autocrypt_dir directory set differently from your GnuPG keyring directory (e.g. If you create the directory manually, you should do the same. Note since these files should be considered private, NeoMutt will create this directory with modeħ00. NeoMutt will then automatically create an sqlite3 database and GPG keyring in that directory. The first time NeoMutt is run after that, you will be prompted to create $autocrypt, and if desired change the value of
