Canonical will include Sequoia PGP, a Rust-based OpenPGP implementation, by default in Ubuntu 26.10, according to It's FOSS. The Ubuntu release notes describe making Sequoia the default toolchain as a future goal, but GnuPG remains the default for now. Sequoia was created in 2017 by former GnuPG developers and implements the newer RFC 9580 standard, unlike GnuPG which follows RFC 4880 and LibrePGP extensions.
Penguin Mail is a new open-source email client built in Rust for Linux, supporting Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, Fastmail and generic IMAP/POP3/SMTP accounts with automatic server detection. It unifies multiple accounts into one synced inbox with tray notifications, and bundles calendar, contacts, OpenPGP/S-MIME encryption via GnuPG, and support for provider-side filtering rules like Gmail filters and Sieve.
AurionMail Suite is a new open-source project that links CryptPad, Stalwart Mail Server, Bulwark Webmail, Ory Hydra, and OpenPGP so users can access encrypted email and encrypted documents with just one password per session. It aims to replicate the smooth zero-knowledge experience of commercial suites like Proton while remaining fully self-hosted and standards-based. The project also includes a refreshed CryptPad interface for a more unified look across the suite.
