The only way to ensure that the messages you send and receive are private to you and the intended recipient(s) is to encrypt them. You can enable end-to-end message encryption with minimal effort using the Roundcube webmail client and the Mailvelope browser extension/add-on. Mailvelope uses the OpenPGP standard, which has been labeled as secure for many years and is open-source; this means you can communicate privately with other email addresses which use OpenPGP standard-supported software.
Note: This encryption method allows you to encrypt only the message body and attachments. The information in the message headers (sender, recipient, timestamp, etc.) cannot be encrypted.
To configure Mailvelope to work with the Roundcube webmail client, you need to follow these steps:
Note: If you access your mailboxes via Roundcube using the server domain (e.g. mbox.your_server.com) and your own domain name (e.g. mbox.example.com), you should authorize both of them.
Once you have configured Mailvelope on your browser, you can send encrypted messages in a few simple steps:
If you plan to send mostly encrypted messages, you should set the message editor type to Plain text by opening the Settings task from the main menu, selecting the Preferences setting, clicking the Composing Messages option, and changing the Compose HTML messages setting to never.
When you send an encrypted message to a mailbox whose public key is not in your keyring, a new window will pop up, asking you to confirm their public key.
To read encrypted messages after you have configured Mailvelope on your browser, you should access your mailbox via the Roundcube Webmail interface, open the Mail task from the main menu, and click on the specific message from the message list. A window may appear where you should enter the password for the private key of the recipient's mailbox.
If you do not have the correct public key of the sender and the correct private key of the recipient's mailbox in your keyring, you will be unable to decrypt and read the message.
