Topic: Email problems using Thunderbird & Enigmail for GPG (Read 1281 times)
Yeah, hotmail seems to work better with hotspotshield turned off. Still playing with it. Thanks for the input.
16.0.1 also.
No VPN. Just behind my wifi router lol
Most likely hotmail is blocking hotspotshield IP's, because of spam/scams, you know.

hotmail - doesn't handle attachments using Thunderbird and couldn't send my public ID key using attachments or a simple cut/paste.
Hotmail handles attachments very well in Thunderbird.
And I just sent an encrypted test mail from my Hotmail and it worked. Pub key attachment included.
Thanks for the reply.
Which version of Thunderbird are you using? I read that hotmail had attachment problems after version 3.*.*. I have version 16.0.1. Also, are you using a VPN client like hotspotshield while using Thunderbird? I have hotspotshield enabled.

I'm a newbie, so restricted. Eventually I want to move it.
I'm trying to use Thunderbird and Enigmail (windows 7) for sending encrypted messages via GPG. But the email providers I've tried haven't worked 100%. Is there one that works best for Thunderbird or for another GPG interface?
The following are the email providers I've tried and the result:
Hushmail - need premium service. Kind of defeats purpose of being anonymous.
vmail - kept getting "Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender", saying my IP address is blocked to prevent spam, even though I tried sending from my home IP address.
hotmail - doesn't handle attachments using Thunderbird and couldn't send my public ID key using attachments or a simple cut/paste.
fastmail - can't send mail because doesn't allow SMTP (outgoing server) unless you upgrade to their paying service.
