I agree. That's why it uses external key managers.

This is the "main dialog".

If you create a new mail, in this dialog 2 new icons _should_
be available.

They are only visible in the "new mail" dialog.

OK, so far everything works.

That's weird. Even the menu entries are not visible?

The same should happen for 'New Mail', except the icons are different.

What exact Outlook version do you have? Did you apply any Service Packs?
GPGol needs at least SP2 (and 2003).

I'm familiar with the mailer+extension and GPGol should work likewise.
The problem is that Outlook is sometimes "intractable". That's why you
need to install at least SP2.

I currently do not maintain the project. If you use Outlook >= 2003
(SP2) and the problems still exist, it might be a good idea to
fill out a bug report at bugs.gnupg.org (gpgol).

No problem. When my time permits it, I always try to help.
