@nicraMarcin Hi, have you tried to use GPG with Thunderbird on MacOS?

No 😄 I've never tried it on a Mac, but it shouldn't be any different from Linux.

The configuration of Thunderbird is similar to that in Linux, but after many attempts, I couldn’t manage to use the private key stored on the Yubikey. It seemed as though Thunderbird wasn’t asking the gpg-agent for the keys at least, the debug logs (gpg-agent)were silent. In Linux, it works without any issues.
