This is a feature is experimental for the time being. You can manually enable it in the configuration file by setting Autocrypt = true for each identity in ~ / .config / emailidentities.

The Autocrypt feature may be available in the next version 21.04.

Features currently available:

• Synchronize Autocrypt storage while reading emails
• sending messages to users who only have self-encryption keys
• Add the key to the Autocrypt header and add a Gossip header, if necessary
