p≡p for Thunderbird Plugin is now alpha
Google doesn't want to give access to Gmail for pEp apps, because they are not email clients but security and privacy apps. Security and privacy apps are not allowed to access Gmail under Google user data policy.
pEp apps will drop support for key servers in the upcoming releases.
Only peer2peer key exchange will be supported.

Reading few recent articles about so called experts recommending What'sApp or Signal instead of GPG.
How is centralized service, without possibility to federate supposed to be better?
Or better how could ever be completely closed source service managed by Facebook with new privacy violations every week be better?
Someone should teach the journalists the differences..
It seems that pEp email clients will loose access to Gmail accounts bcs Google is too slow to verify the apps.
I'd suggest to switch from Gmail to selfhosted email.
Testing Sequoia encryption/decryption speed. Results are significantly better than GnuPG. Time to switch your projects from GnuPG to Sequoia.
Choose encrypted cloud storage provider with zero knowledge about your files or end up as Ever customers..

So after testing new implementation of OpenPGP in rust in real app - Sequoia project, I can say it's around 10 times faster than GnuPG!
NSO should applied for the label http://www.made-in-luxembourg.lu/en/ (https not working)
So #posteo.ch is refusing EC certs and only supporting RSA certs for their email :) Must be hard job to do support there.
