You need to setup a PGP key first in `work-gpg`
(https://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual/c14.html#AEN25) and then use that key in
mail VM.

Qubes Split GPG documentation (https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/split-gpg/) may be
helpful here.

Cheers,

Hi,

Thank you very much. I've succeeded creating a new key pair in whonix-ws, sending it to my mail VM and importing into the work-gpg via qubes-gpg-import-key command.
