Excuse me. An Linux non-expert observation? I am far from a Linux expert. I have dabbled with it over the years. However I have never tried to run an email client on a server install. I have had, and currently do have, Thunderbird with Enigmail working on Fedora 18, Fedora Rawhide, Mageia 2, and Mageia Cauldron. But. I have found that for these to work I have had to use the Thunderbird package provided by the distribution as well as the Enigmail package also provided by the distribution. They 'change thins' and 'move things'. I have never had any reliable success using the Thunderbird package from Mozilla with the Enigmail package provided by Patrick and the Enigmail team. And for these distribution packages to work, in this way, did not take any magic. No tweaks. No editing. Nothing. Just install them and, from the box, they work. > On 14.03.13 14:15, Patrick Fleming wrote: >> Due to other upgrades needed on the server I again tried >> Thunderbird 17.0.3 with Enigmail 1.5.1.
