I said "separately" means I first created a master key "without" subkey and 
made it sign+encrypt. After I realized it might not work in some cases, then I 
go back to APG and "add" a subkey to it. I then tagged the master key just for 
signingx and the newly created subkey just for encrypting. After these steps I 
imported the amended key.

Hi Stanley,

> I generated the master key and subkey "separately" using APG

I assume that you sign with your main key (which works in Enigmail)
and encrypt-to/decrypt with your subkey (which doesn't). Since APG
works, key properties should be fine. But what do you mean with
separately? You did generate them in one go, yes? So, first the main
key, then the subkey, then maybe tweaked some settings and only after
finishing everything you exported the whole private and public key to
import those files on your PC. You did not generate the main key on
one device (A) and the subkey on another (B) (which would cause issues
if not deleted and reimported on A). Did you check the key on your PC
using "gpg --edit-key <keyID>" from the command line that if is
complete, has the expected properties and trust?
