Setting up a GPG/PGP encryption for your email is a great way to keep your correspondence private and add an additional layer of security to your account. 

How to create a GPG/PGP key

One popular method for encrypting email is by using the Mozilla Thunderbird email client with the Enigmail plugin. The basic steps are:

1. Download and install the Thunderbird client.
2. Install GnuPG and the Enigmail plugin.

If you’re a MacOS user, you can also try GPGMail, a GPG plugin for Apple Mail.
