For Android you can use APG and K9-Mail. You will learn to love it if you have multiple accounts and 'get' the interface.

Recommended use is with Thunderbird and Enigmail on desktop, where you should also have your mail filters sorting your mail to the IMAP folders.

To install use F-Droid. F-Droid ist the Open Software Repository for Android. https://f-droid.org/

This is/feels like the recommended way to use PGP at the moment or at least the most useable.

Agreed - I'm using this setup and it works really well.

How do you treat PGP/MIME E-Mails? PGP-Inline is dead.

Good point - that's the only issue I have with K9 and AGP on Android. I'm happy to live with only being able to view encrypted attachments on the desktop at the moment.

There's an open issue to add PPG/MIME: https://code.google.com/p/k9mail/issues/detail?id=5864

There's also an open bounty which can be contributed to: https://www.bountysource.com/issues/815255-pgp-mime

Small Update:

You can get the latest K9 Alpha from here: https://github.com/k9mail/k-9/releases/tag/4.904

..and should use OpenKeyChain instead of APG, since its no longer maintained. http://openkeychain.org/ (also available on F-Droid)

This at least removes the need to push decrypt on every Message although thee might be Bugs.

Thanks for the info and links.
