GPGMail_Updater
GPGMail_Updater is a helper component of GPGMail, an open-source plugin for macOS Mail that adds end-to-end encryption and digital signature capabilities using OpenPGP (GnuPG). GPGMail allows users to encrypt and decrypt email messages, verify sender authenticity, and manage PGP keys directly within the Mail application. The updater component is not a standalone application but a system service that automatically checks for and installs updates to the main GPGMail plugin.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe updater is not a standalone app — it is a helper component of GPGMail. To address its Intel-only status, you need to ensure the parent GPGMail plugin itself is updated to a native Apple Silicon build. GPGMail is actively maintained by the GPG Suite project. Check gpgtools.org for the latest release of GPG Suite or GPGMail, which should include a native Apple Silicon build. If your installed version is from before 2021, updating to the current version will replace this updater with a native equivalent. Launch the GPGMail updater utility if it appears in your System Settings or Mail preferences, or reinstall GPGMail from gpgtools.org to pull the latest native build. If you are uncertain whether an update is available, contact the GPG Tools team directly — they remain actively engaged in supporting Apple Silicon.
