-Mailpile provides a nice looking webmail interface suitable for use on desktop or mobile clients. It has pretty good support for email encryption and makes that quite an easy process. At present it's usable but still has some bugs and limitations. If you need a fully functional email client with comprehensive encryption support then either use Mutt or Thunderbird/Icedove.

-ssh into the Freedombone with:
54 
-
55 
-#+begin_src bash
56 
-ssh username@maindomainname -p 2222
57 
-#+end_src

-Select *My encryption keys*

61 
-Select *Show full PGP/GPG key*. Select the text of the full key and copy it, then paste it into a file on your local system.

-
63 
-In a browser navigate to *yourmailpiledomain/contacts*
64 
-
65 
-Select *import encryption keys* followed by *upload key*
66 
-
67 
-Click *select encryption key* then choose the file you previously saved.

 One down side is that this appears to be a single user system, so if you have multiple users on your Freedombone server only the administrator will actually be able to use mailpile.
