YubiKey can be used to decrypt and sign emails and attachments using [Thunderbird](https://www.thunderbird.net/), [Enigmail](https://www.enigmail.net) and [Mutt](http://www.mutt.org/). Thunderbird supports OAuth 2 authentication and can be used with Gmail. See [this EFF guide](https://ssd.eff.org/en/module/how-use-pgp-linux) for more information.

### Thunderbird
Follow [instructions on the mozilla wiki](https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:OpenPGP:Smartcards#Configure_an_email_account_to_use_an_external_GnuPG_key) to setup your YubiKey with your thunderbird client using the external gpg provider.
**Important** Thunderbird [fails](https://github.com/drduh/YubiKey-Guide/issues/448) to decrypt emails if the ASCII `armor` option is enabled in your `~/.gnupg/gpg.conf`. If you see the error `gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=2d)` or `message cannot be decrypted (there are unknown problems with this encrypted message)`simply remove this option from your config file.
### Mailvelope ### Mailvelope
[Mailvelope](https://www.mailvelope.com/en) allows YubiKey to be used with Gmail and others. [Mailvelope](https://www.mailvelope.com/en) allows YubiKey to be used with Gmail and others.
