I don't see that as a problem or any different than using a pc.  
But I do use OpenKeyChain or Pgpg on my Blackberry to preview  
incoming encrpyted mail or even write simple replies.

I don't think I ever heard of Mailvelope.  I suppose it  
operates much like FlowCrypt? Same process, and same idea?

I just tried Mailvelope. I thought it might be handy if I need  
to deal with encrypted messages whilst logged into my account  
using the web-interface.

I don't see it any handier if I were to use Kleopatra.  Infact,  
I think Kleopatra might be better because then I wouldn't need  
to manage a separate keyring that Mailvelope requires.   
Kleopatra works with the existing OpenGPG setup.

That is very handy indeed. I've used gpg for encrypting files  
myself.  But I often get lazy and just use the password/ 
encryption feature that 7Zip offers.

Protonmail is a good nobrainer way to get people started with  
private mail.

I just tried Mailvelope with gmail.  It looks like additional  
steps are required such as creating a keypair for my @gmail.com  
address.  I thought I would just encrypt a body of text and  
send it off - which I did, but it wouldn't allow me to see the  
SENT copy complaining that a key for @gmail.com does not exist.

I think I'll stick with localized encryption methods. I don't  
really need anything for gmail since I don't use it much  
anyway.
