Why? You should only get the message when you save the Enigmail

The "only" problem is that Enigmail cannot configure gnome-keyring,
i.e. when you change the passphrase caching settings, Enigmail cannot
reconfigure gnome-keyring (which works in gpg-agent).

Why don't you set up gpg-agent or re-activate gnome-keyring for gpg?
