Re: [Enigmail] Best way to move to TB 78
I have TB 78 on one machine that I installed fresh (no TB nor GPG) on there originally and it seems to be working fine. On my main one it is still at 68 but now shows an upgrade to 78. From what I have heard there will no longer be any updates for 68 I will be upgrading it to 78 as well.

Re: [Enigmail] Best way to move to TB 78
This question was originally from me. What I ended up doing is installing GPG4Win on that other PC and used a program from Robert Hansen that backs up and restores all the relevant GPG files. I then restored those keys into GPG4Win and installed Thunderbird 78 which did import the keys into its own keystore. There might have been easier ways but I wanted to make sure I my keys were completely imported.

In the meantime, only at one pc in my bussines and private relations migration was offered.

But I think that you only imported your own key manually. To import all your public keys, first export all of them from Kleopatra or GnuPG, and then import using the OpenPGP key manager.

Re: [Enigmail] Best way to move to TB 78
Interestingso basically only imported your own key? See that is why I want to install it on a separate machine first before updating my daily use one. It would be a totally fresh install on that other machine as it doesn't have Thunderbird nor any PGP programs/keys.

Re: [Enigmail] Best way to move to TB 78
The move of my originating key pair from TB68 to TB78 on a Win 10 laptop went very smoothly. OpenPGP Key Manager permits me to see that key but not the public keys from other people, as was done by Kleopatra. The "Show keys from other people" box in the OpenPGP Key Manager was checked. Did I miss something or is this a bug in OpenPGP?

I will give that a try and see how (well) it works. If someone has a better idea, please let me know. Thanks On 9/25/2020 8:25 AM, Patrick Brunschwig wrote: > Yes, that's a possible approach.

Re: [Enigmail] Best way to move to TB 78
Yes, that's a possible approach. You won't need Enigmail afterwards anymore. -Patrick On 25/09/2020 07:44, Mark wrote: > Thanks from my read of it I gather (as I'm starting with a blank > slate on that other machine) I would need to first install GPG4Win on it > and then copy my key files to that PC.

Re: [Enigmail] Best way to move to TB 78
Thanks from my read of it I gather (as I'm starting with a blank slate on that other machine) I would need to first install GPG4Win on it and then copy my key files to that PC. I would then install TB78 and also the "migration edition" of Enigmail to import the keys into TB78's OpenPGP "database" Is that correct? If so, is there a need to leave that version of Enigmail installed after the initial importation of those keys?
