What you can do:
13+
14+
* Set your secret key and automatically decrypt emails
15+
* Generate a new key pair and download it to a file
16+
* Encrypt plain text in emails for a list of recipients. The addon reads the "To"-field and tries to fetch public keys for these contacts (stored in the "Custom4" field in the address book).
17+
18+
19+
### Permissions
20+
This addon uses a long list of permissions, because each is needed for small things. Of course, nothing unexpected is done with your mails or account!
21+
22+
