You'll need to install and configure [OpenKeychain](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.sufficientlysecure.keychain/) first.
FairEmail was tested with OpenKeychain version 5.4. Later versions will most likely be compatible, but earlier versions might not be.
[PGPony for Android](https://github.com/norsehorse-dev/PGPonyAndroid) is reported to work too. You can select the PGP provider on the encryption settings tab page.
**Important**: the OpenKeychain app is known to (silently) crash when the calling app (FairEmail) is not authorized yet and is getting an existing public key.
You can workaround this by trying to send a signed/encrypted message to a sender with an unknown public key.
