I'm on a Mac with Mavericks 10.9.5, having the same problem as the OP.
I installed gpg2 and pinentry from MacPorts and edited gpg-agent.conf
to include the full path to pinentry. This worked after a reboot for
sending two mails (only encrypted, signing failed), but it stopped
working completely ever since. When I type gpg-agent in terminal it
now complains about a bad GPG_AGENT_INFO environment variable. As
before, gpg2 yields the error message that it cannot find my key. :(

Since it seems I've done everything by the book and since there was a
discussion about stopping support for gpg1, could you please provide a
guide explaining how to configure enigmail with gpg2 step by step?
This would be awesome.

I'd like to start using encryption for email as soon as possible.
However, it seems this has not been properly tested on the Mac so far.

Thanks,
Jürgen.
