This is because the keys were generated with GnuPG 2.1. GnuPG 2.1 stores
the keys differently than GnuPG 1.4 and 2.0; therefore you don't see
these keys with "gpg".

As you do have a list of keys from gpg2, I'd recommend you set the path
for GnuPG in Enigmail to /usr/bin/gpg2 (menu Enigmail > Preferences),
such that these keys are visible in Enigmail.

Re: [Enigmail] Enigmail is slow to start

[Patrick Brunschwig]

It's true that Enigmail is not extremely fast, but 10 seconds seems to be a lot.

It may also depend on your GnuPG version and whether or not gpg-agent is 
running before the dialog is displayed. There is a known problem causing 
gpg-agent to start quite slowly which has only been fixed recently.

Either "Refresh Keys" will make the key go away, or the fix needs to be
done in GnuPG.

That's bug 682 (https://sourceforge.net/p/enigmail/bugs/682/). I'll have

I think the best option would be to export the private key from
Mailvelope and import it in Thunderbird and vice versa. I can't tell how
to do that in Mailvelope. For Thunderbird/Enigmail, I'd recommend you
study http://enigmail.wiki/Key_Management, specifically the following
sections

* http://enigmail.wiki/Key_Management#Making_a_backup_of_your_key_pair
* http://enigmail.wiki/Key_Management#Importing_an_existing_key_pair

That's because the developers of Enigmail is the Enigmail team. But the
specific build of Enigmail for Postbox is created by Postbox.

Enigmail 1.2 was released in 2011, i.e. 6 years ago. Since then there
have been a number of important API changes in Thunderbird that allowed
me to replace all C++ code with JavaScript code.  Postbox does not
provide those APIs; Enigmail for Postbox is therefore still bound to C++
components. In order to port the current version of Enigmail to Postbox,
you'd have to rewrite all the existing code to use the old APIs of 2011.

In addition, there have been several important extensions to the
JavaScript language since 2011. These extensions are used by Enigmail
today. All of this would need to be rewritten to the JavaScript version
used by Postbox.

Overall, you'd have to repeat/rewrite a lot of what was developed over
the last 6 years in Enigmail. It is in my eyes therefore simply
impossible to port today's versions of Enigmail to Postbox.

You're asking the wrong mailing list - we're not Thunderbird developers.
But I do follow the Thunderbird developers mailing list and their answer
would be around this:

It's unclear for how long "Legacy" extensions will be supported by
Thunderbird. WebExtensions for Thunderbird don't make much sense because
most of the APIs required for typical Thunderbird addons are not
available to WebExtensions. Therefore, porting addons like Enigmail to a
WebExtension is impossible.

However, the decision is mostly on the Firefox developers. Disabling
Legacy extensions does not mean that the code for supporting them will
be removed, and as long as that code is available, Legacy extensions
will be supported by Thunderbird. It is expected that Thunderbird will
at some point have to fork from Firefox, because too many features
required by Thunderbird will no longer be available in Firefox. But when
and how and what happens after the fork is totally unclear and currently
being discussed broadly among the Thunderbird developers.

This looks like something went wrong with (un-)installing Enigmail. I'd
recommend you uninstall Enigmail completely (using YaST), restart
Thunderbird, then check that Enigmail is _really_ no longer installed in
the Addon manager.

If you are sure that Enigmail is no longer installed and then re-install
it from the Enigmail web site (https://enigmail.net)

I cannot reproduce this with all of my test messages (that simulate
quite every possible scenario of the last 14 years of Enigmail
development).

Furthermore, the _only_ change between 1.9.6.1 and 1.9.7 is related to
the key up/download dialog.

I cannot reproduce this - neither on Linux nor on macOS. Do you use the
official Thunderbird release or a release produced by your distribution
(or even self-created)?

If you send me a debug log, I'll check if there's something wrong.

If Thunderbird is in that "Limbo" state, does it help to kill all
gpg2/gpg2 processes (not gpg-agent)?

Do you see any error message in the Error console when Thunderbird
enters that Limbo state?

[Patrick Brunschwig]

I think that you have a few issues that are not related to Enigmail but are 
more general Thunderbird issues. The date error does not make any sense to me. 
I'm simply using a standard TB function to display the date in your locale.

The error you reported now is similarly strange and cannot be due to Enigmail. 
I'd suggest you create a new profile in Thunderbird and try a fresh start.

This won't help. This probably simply a problem of time zones. The
expiry date is represented as seconds after 1.1.1970. The key expiry
date represented as long date/time in Thunderbird results in the
following output:
01.01.2100, 00:00 MEZ

The same date minus one second results in:
31.12.2099, 23:59 MEZ

Yes, that's a known issue that I still have to fix. You 'll need to
re-select your key IDs in the account manager such that they are are
displayed as fingerprints

I'm sorry, but Mozilla crashes don't help me in any way. Enigmail is
written in JavaScript, but the crashes only report the status of native
libraries and threads.

If this happens again, please create & save a debug log file before you
close Thunderbird.

Thanks. I check the log files you sent me. The log files clearly show
that the gpg process to list the keys doesn't return. This may be
because the other running gpg (or gpg-agent) process blocks something.

I actually believe that this is an error in gpg4win (as you're using
gpg4win 3.0 beta): there must not be two gpg-agent processes at the same
time. Enigmail does not start gpg-agent (as you can see in the log files
you sent me), and gpg should always connect to the same agent. A new
agent would only be started if there is no running agent.

I would report this to the gpg4win team.

Gpg complains about not being able to find the secret key for
0x4B81B3234232DCD2EC32FD4FE045FE37AD62C09F.

I'd assume that's because GnuPG 2.1 uses a different type of keyring
format that GnuPG 2.0. You can't simply uninstall GnuPG 2.1, install
GnuPG 2.0 and expect that keys will continue to work like before.

You have to export your keys from GnuPG 2.1, and then re-import them
into GnuPG 2.0

Yes, but you DOWNgraded. And frankly, I'm not an author of GnuPG or
gpg4win. It's from the point of view of Enigmail a thirds party product
on which we have very little to no influence.

Can you try the following (inofficial) test version of Enigmail:

These are builds, not released versions. I don't tag builds. I'll create a tag 
and announce a release when it's ready.

[Enigmail] Enigmail 1.9.8 Beta 1 available

[Patrick Brunschwig]

I created a beta version of Enigmail 1.9.8 for Thunderbird 52 and newer.

The reason for this unusual beta release of a minor version upgrade is
that there was a change in Thunderbird 52 that may block message sending
with Enigmail in some circumstances (bug 687 [1]). The way to fix the
issue was to replace a core component in Enigmail that deals with
calling GnuPG by a new version delivered by Mozilla.

As this is quite a substantial change, I decided to create a beta
version of it before releasing it to everyone.

If possible, please try the version and let me know if you have new
issues that did not exist before. The beta version is also available
from addons.mozilla.org

You can get the XPI file from here; the source code is tagged as well.

https://www.enigmail.net/download/beta/enigmail-1.9.8b1.xpi

Please note that this version requires Thunderbird or newer; it will not
run on Thunderbird 45.

I see two reasons for this:
1. GnuPG only prints the long key ID (i.e. not the FPR) to tell you
which key was used to encrypt a message. If you have keys on your
keyring with these IDs, then this might be the problem.

2. The internal key list in Enigmail got mixed up (even though I cannot
imagine how this can happen). Reload the key cache and see if the
problem pertains.

We currently don't have such tests, but it would definitely make sense
to have such tests. The unit tests in Enigmail are written in a way that
Thunderbird is launched anyway; thus it would definitely be possible to
write UI unit tests.

There is no need to be rude. This is even more true given that your
complaint was addressed to the wrong people.

The passphrase dialog is part of GnuPG, not Enigmail -- telling us will
not be heard by those in charge of GnuPG.

Lightning and Provider for Google Calendar should not disturb. But maybe
gContactSync interferes with Enigmail?

If disabling the addon doesn't help, then please delete the following
files from your Thunderbird profile (while TB is not running):
localstore.rdf
xulstore.json

We had to change this for Thunderbird 52 due to the following Mozilla
bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1367672

The correct locale format in Thunderbird is xx-yy (not xx_yy). However,
Thunderbird seems to be unable to cope with additional parameters in the
locale like ".UTF-8".

I would expect that the following patch fixes the issue.

Daily seems to be quite broken. I can't even get it to open the Error
Console when Enigmail is installed. The error messages on the command
line (not visible on Windows) seem to point to Thunderbird or Mozilla
platform errors. Given the errors I'm seeing, I don't think that
Enigmail would run in any way on today's Daily.

Thanks to Jörg Knobloch from Thunderbird who pointed me to what has
changed. I could fix the issues in Enigmail quite easily. The latest
nightly build should work again with Daily.

When I create a release, I first upload it to addons.mozilla.org, then
to the website, and then I announce it on the mailing list & forum.

Mozilla takes an arbitrary amount of time to review and approve addons
on their website. Once they approve it, it becomes available on
addons.mozilla.org and triggers automatic updates. Currently it takes
them _very_ long to approve the new version. All we can do is wait. I
will certainly not hold back new versions on the Enigmail web site just
because Mozilla is extremely slow.

It works for me on both Windows and Mac OS using TB Daily 2017-07-28.
Please check the Thunderbird Error Console if there's any exception.

[Enigmail] [ANN] Translations moved to Transifex

[Patrick Brunschwig]

Dear translators

As Babelzilla seems to be largely abandoned, and given that the
maintainer of beta.babelzilla.org has announced to shutdown the service
by the end of 2017, I have decided to move the translations to a new place.

I decided for Transifex[1], a professional web and project translation
service, which already served as backend for beta.babelzilla.org. It
offers similar features to the previous service. I have already moved
all translations to the new platform.

I also uploaded the current English locale of the next release. There
are quite a number of new strings to translate. It's not yet finished,
but I'd say it's about 90% complete.

Please visit

to read how to register for Transifex.

There's no need to warn me. Mozilla developers are removing a lot of
APIs from Firefox (and consequently Thunderbird), and it's not
surprising that Enigmail does not work until I adapt to those changes.

Some of these changes are even difficult to fix for Thunderbird.

Enigmail nightly should run OK with TB 56, I fixed all known issues. But
you have to use nightly builds of Enigmail - Enigmail v1.9.x will not
work with TB 56.

In general, if you require Enigmail to work, then I strongly recommend
that you stick to official Thunderbird releases.

As Olav said, Mozilla is changing/removing a lot of APIs from Beta &
Daily versions of Thunderbird, these _will_ break Enigmail from time to
time. While I try to keep up to date with those changes, I cannot
promise that there will be no issues from time to time.

[Enigmail] [ANN] Enigmail v1.9.8.2 available

[Patrick Brunschwig]

I'm happy to announce the availability of Enigmail v1.9.8.2 for
Thunderbird version 52 and SeaMonkey 2.46.


Changes
===
This version fixes an issue with misinterpreting date localization,
which makes Enigmail almost unusable - loading keys and
encryption/decryption of mails fail.


Obtaining Enigmail
==
Enigmail can be downloaded from


The changelog is available from



Additional Remarks
==
1. Beta versions of Thunderbird require a nightly build of Enigmail,
i.e. Enigmail v1.9.8.x will not work with Thunderbird 56b and newer.

2. The new version is still waiting for approval on
https://addons.mozilla.org; you should receive it automatically via the
addons-update once the approval is made (this may take up to several weeks).

The information doesn't really tell me a lot. This looks like a call to
a standard Thunderbird function failed - which I actually doubt is the
cause. It's most likely something else.

If you can create a debug log file, I can look into it in more detail.
See https://www.enigmail.net/index.php/en/faq-en?view=topic&id=15
section "How can I create a debugging log file".

You should follow the steps in the FAQ article "Resolving issues with
GnuPG 2.x and gpg-agent." That's exactly written for the issue you are
having. There isn't much more guidance I would know of.

You cannot import anything into Enigmail, as Enigmail is only a frontend
to GnuPG. That's why Rob asked if you can sign on the command line.
Normally, the keys are stored by GnuPG in ~/.gnupg

Please try to reload the key cache and then check the Thunderbird
console if there is an error (menu Tools > Developer Tools > Error
Console).

If that doesn't show anything, then go to menu Enigmail > Preferences
and enable the "Expert Settings". Then go to menu Enigmail > Debugging
Options > Console and check at the top of the window what GnuPG reports.

1st you'd see which version of gpg is used by Enigmail. Is that the same
version that you would use on the command line?

2nd, GnuPG would report a line starting with "Home:" showing from where
it loads the keys. That's where you would find the public key ring.

This either means that the timeout settings are not correct, or that
gpg-agent is terminated after every operation. You can check the latter
doing "ps ax | grep gpg-agent".

I think it's best if you send me a debug log file.
See https://enigmail.net/index.php/en/faq-en?view=topic&id=15 for how to
create the file.

The problem is that there are circular references between some modules.
This should not be, but is sometimes very hard to discover (and fix) as
it can't be detected (yet) at compile time. By lazily loading one
module, you get rid of the circular reference.

Patch applied - thanks!

I already replied to your first email on 09/17. Did you follow my advice?

 This either means that the timeout settings are not correct, or that
 gpg-agent is terminated after every operation. You can check the latter
 doing "ps ax | grep gpg-agent".

You need to check the following two settings in gpg-agent.conf. The
values are in seconds. Standard default is 5 minutes, but Linux
distributions may choose to use different defaults.

default-cache-ttl
max-cache-ttl

Re: [Enigmail] Passphrases no longer found in keyring

[Patrick Brunschwig]

This really looks like some issue with gpg-agent (as if it were started
by gpg each time something needs to be done).

I can only recommend you to check our troubleshooting guide for gpg-agent:
https://www.enigmail.net/index.php/en/faq-en?view=topic&id=14

If that doesn't help, you better ask for help at the GnuPG mailing list.

From which version of gpg4win did you upgrade to which version?

Why did you resend the patch to the mailing list? The merge request on
Sourceforge was perfectly fine and is already closed.

Merge requests are perfectly fine. Given that this list is more focused
on end users than developers, merge requests via Sourceforge are a good
way to go forward. I'll update the Wiki.

When forwarding a PGP/MIME encrypted email as an attachment, then the
email remains _unchanged_ by Thunderbird upon attaching it. That is, the
attached email is still encrypted to yourself (and whoever else was on
the recipients/sender) but likely not to the person to whom you forward
the email.

Consequently, the person who got the email from you cannot open it. If
you want to forward a PGP/MIME encrypted email, you either need to
attach it inline, or you need to create a decrypted copy of the mail,
and attach that copy.

I knew that this would be the immediate proposal ;-)

That would be anything but trivial. The email is only attached at
sending time by a low-level Thunderbird function; before that it's only
a pointer to a mail (which does not even need to be downloaded while
writing the message).

In other words, Enigmail would need to make sure that the attached mail
is downloaded while the mail is being written, and then the mail needs
to be decrypted (which could trigger a request to enter a passphrase --
something we want to avoid during message composition), and re-packaged
in a similar same way as the function "Decrypt to Folder" works (except
that the target a file this time). And then, then attached mail needs to
be replaced with the decrypted copy. Finally you have to make sure that
sending the message is not possible before that's completed. And
obviously, this should work for PGP/MIME and inline-PGP.

It's not very surprising that this is not even implemented by
Thunderbird for S/MIME.

[Enigmail] [ANN] Enigmail v1.9.8.3 available

[Patrick Brunschwig]

I'm happy to announce the availability of Enigmail v1.9.8.3 for
Thunderbird version 52 and SeaMonkey 2.46.


Changes
===
This version attempts to fix a crash bug in Thunderbird caused by
Enigmail consuming too much memory during message sendig.


Obtaining Enigmail
==
Enigmail can be downloaded from


The changelog is available from



Additional Remarks
==
1. Beta versions of Thunderbird require a nightly build of Enigmail,
i.e. Enigmail v1.9.8.x will not work with Thunderbird 56b and newer.

2. The new version is still waiting for approval on
https://addons.mozilla.org; you should receive it automatically via the
addons-update once the approval is made (this may take up to several weeks).

It doesn't have to be Thunderbird and Enigmail. The person on the other
end needs a mail client that can handle OpenPGP encrypted emails. The
following link lists a number of email clients that have OpenPGP support:

Why do you report this to Enigmail? Enigmail does not handle the keyring
for gpg.

If you import a key more than once in gpg -- which is what you always do
e.g. if you refresh keys from a keyserver --, it's gpg's task to do the
right thing (i.e. merge the keys).

I believe that the problem is not so much the hashing algorithm. The
primary source of CPU consumption in Thunderbird/Enigmail is feeding the
data to gpg and read back the data from gpg. There's quite a lot of
overhead involved in the Mozilla platform to do such calls, making the
whole process less efficient than with other technologies.

If you observe the gpg and thunderbird processes, you'll easily find out
which one consumes more CPU. If it's gpg, then it may be the hashing
algorithm, if not, then the hashing algorithm doesn't have any influence.

I'm sorry, but it's not the same at all. TB 52.4 is the current stable version 
of Thunderbird. TB 56 is a *beta* version  of what will one day be released as 
TB 59.

While Enigmail 1.9.8.x is compatible with TB 52.*, it's not with TB 56 and 
newer.
You'll need a nightly version of Enigmail for TB 56 and newer.

This can be a valid result if the email is only partially signed, or if it's 
both PGP and S/MIME signed.

... and the outer type is S/MIME, which explains why it won't be verified by 
Enigmail.

Are you sure that you talk about Enigmail? Which "View" function do you
mean? Enigmail cannot open the GPG Keychain app, as that's something
Enigmail does not know.

[Enigmail] On Displaying Signatures

[Patrick Brunschwig]

dkg and I discussed when and how the result of verifying a signed mail
should be displayed. We came up with the following solution, that I want
to implement in Enigmail.


We *only* display signature information if *all* of the following
conditions are satisfied:

A. The signature could be verified successfully
B. Email date and signature date are "close" [1] to each other, and
   both dates are in the "past" or in the near future [2]
C. The signing key is associated with the From: address of the email
   via any of: valid UID, per-recipient rule, Autocrypt peer-state
D. If the signing (sub-)key is revoked:
 - the signing (sub-)key must not be revoked with reasons other
   than "superseded".
 - if the revocation reason was "superseded" then the date of the
   revocation must be after then signing date.
E. If the signing (sub-)key is expired, the expiry date must be after
   the signing date


[1] We need to allow some delta since there is always a little gap
between the signature creation and and message sending.

[2] We need to allow a few hours in the future, since not all mail
clients run on the exact time.

Per-recipient rules cannot be used for this.

What you can do is set up several identities for an account, and assign
different keys to each identity. The identity can just be an alias (i.e.
a different symbolic name), but it can also be a different email address.

That's a very important point. Option B is not possible without hacking
deeply into Thunderbird - I would not know how to go that way.

I think the following variant of A is a good compromise:

If the *first* displayed MIME part is signed, then the signature is
shown with an indication that only the 1st message part is signed. If
any other MIME part is signed, then no information about the signature
is displayed.

There's a horizontal line between every MIME part.

I'm not sure what is going to happen with Icedove. As long as Icedove is very 
similar to the most recent version of Thunderbird, Icedove will be supported as 
well. If Icedove is no longer updated with a similar schedule as Thunderbird, 
there is no guarantee that new versions of Enigmail will still support it.

I see two possible reasons for this:
a) Enigmail did not update its own key cache
b) the expiry date of some subkey(s) was not extended

For a) go to the Enigmail Key Manager and Reload the Key Cache (menu
File). For b) check the properties of your key by double clicking on it.
Then switch to the "Structure" tab.

[Enigmail] Translators needed

[Patrick Brunschwig]

Many localizations for Enigmail seem to be left without any translators.
I'm planning for the next major release of Enigmail in February 2018,
and I think it would be excellent if the translations are up to date.

As of today the following localizations have no assigned translators:

* Bulgarian (bg)  - 55.11% translated
* Arabic (ar) - 55.19% translated
* Finnish (fi)- 58.59% translated
* Greek (el)  - 59.06% translated
* Slovak (sk) - 62.46% translated
* Vietnamese (vi) - 71.75% translated
* Chinese (Taiwan) (zh_TW) - 73.45% translated
* Russian (ru)- 81.97% translated
* Croatian (hr)   - 81.97% translated
* Albanian (sq)   - 81.97% translated
* Norwegian Bokmål (Norway) (nb_NO) - 81.97% translated

If you speak one of the above languages, or know someone who can
translate from English to these languages, then please visit

and register yourself as translator.

Many thanks
-Patrick

Enigmail does not do any crypto-work, that's done by GnuPG. Thus if
Enigmail doesn't seem to find the keys, then GnuPG doesn't find the keys.

Does your Yubikey work if you use GnuPG on the command line?

The release is not yet published/announced because I'm waiting for
addons.mozilla.org to get it approved, such that the majority of the
users get it simultaneously with the announcement.

Re: [Enigmail] enigmail 1.9.9 release?

[Patrick Brunschwig]

You will find at least 20 blocker bugs when trying to use Enigmail
v1.9.x on Thunderbird 57.

The install.rdf file in the release specifies that the maximum supported
Thunderbird version is 55 -- the 1.9.x series of Enigmail does not work
on Thunderbird 56 and newer and never will.

If you want to use Enigmail on Thunderbird 57 and newer, then you have
to use a nightly build of Enigmail.

[Enigmail] [ANN] Enigmail v1.9.9 available

[Patrick Brunschwig]

I'm happy to announce the availability of Enigmail v1.9.9 for
Thunderbird version 52.x and SeaMonkey 2.46.

This version addresses a number of security vulnerabilities discovered
by Cure53 during an audit of Thunderbird with Enigmail. The audit report
covers both Thunderbird and Enigmail. As some vulnerabilities are still
unfixed on the side of Thunderbird, we currently only publish an excerpt
of the report with the issues found in Enigmail [1].

Enigmail is one of the most widely used tool for OpenPGP email
encryption. Yet it took 16(!) years of development until the first
security audit was performed. It was more than overdue, and I would like
to thank Posteo (www.posteo.de) for taking the initiative and
co-financing an audit report together with the Mozilla Foundation. Not
very surprising for such an old project, the audit report revealed a
number of important issues that were addressed now.


Changes
===

See the Pentest Report for Enigmail by Cure53 [1].
In addition, Bug 709 was fixed [2].


Obtaining Enigmail
==
Enigmail can be downloaded from


The changelog is available from



Additional Remarks
==
Beta versions of Thunderbird require a nightly build of Enigmail,
i.e. Enigmail v1.9.x will not work with Thunderbird 56b1 and newer.

Not yet., but I'll take care of that tomorrow. Thanks for the reminder.

I would recommend to _not_ use the email address to identify the key,
but to explicitly specify the key fingerprint using the selection
dialog. This will make Enigmail explicitly tell GnuPG which key to use,
independently of which UID is on the key.

Not exactly. Enigmail can use group lines in gpg.conf since version
0.96.0, released in 2009.

I just fixed it :-) The _latest_ nightly build should work OK again on

Not exactly - there are no proposed changes to Thunderbird addons. It
has to do with Firefox having dropped support for "old style" addons
(like those for Thunderbird).
