I'm using s/mime. Since upgrading to enigmail 2.0 outgoing messages using identities without gpg keys are not s/mime signed by default anymore. I tried to play around with the settings and managed at least to use s/mime as default for identities /with/ gpg keys. Is there a kind of some freaky combination of settings to get identities w/o gpg key to be s/mime signed by default? Thunderbird's own "sign by default" option is getting completely ignored.
edit, after installing enigmail nightly: works better now. But still, if I unset "enable openpgp support (enigmail) for this identity" I expect not to have pgp at all and to exclusively use s/mime. But s/mime signing is not selected (which should be the default according to thunderbird's settings). Instead, the enigmail menu shows "protocol pgp/mime (auto)" selected.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.0).
Please try the following build which should fix the issue with the values taken from Thunderbird's own default: https://enigmail.net/download/nightly/enigmail-nightly-enigmail-2.0-branch-all.xpi
Btw. the menu Enigmail allows you to manually select the algorithm for each message.
hi.. this addon was perfect but it does not work with default settings under debian after update to 1.9.8.2 unless you create custom wrap launcher with unset GPG_AGENT_INFO which works for me.
Problem: GnuPG reported an error in the communication with gpg-agent (a component of GnuPG).
- using debian 8 64bit - thunderbird latest and this extension latest.

I'm working closely with the Debian package maintainers to avoid such issues. The problem you are describing is not common to all Debian users; I would strongly recommend that you report it to the Debian bug tracker, such that knowledgeable people can look into it and either help you fix it, or fix the issue in Debian.
Enigmail used to work like a charm, but broke about a year ago. Thunderbird hangs on sending emails 4 out of 5 times, and constantly requires you to kill gpg2 in order to keep working. It's really disappointing, as it seemed to be the first extension that actually got email encryption right and used to be extremely useful.

Do you use the latest version of Enigmail? It should not make Thunderbird hang any longer. Otherwise, please report your issue at the Enigmail Mailing List and we will try to fix your problem.
Seit dem letzten update von thunderbird geht enigmail nicht mehr. Vor allem aber sind meine gespeicherten Entwürfe nicht mehr lesbar! Ich hatte keine Möglichkeit, sie unverschlüsselt zu speichern (auch blöd!), und jetzt sind sie weg.

This addon does not provide sufficient warning when you click upload public keys. (Sufficient warning = a popup explaining that uploaded public keys can't be removed from the key servers once uploaded) This can lead to leaking of private email addresses that you wish to keep hidden from the public.

Just started using today, when I looked into securing my email myself (especially after "another" Yahoo incident) I thought it would be daunting, thanks for proving me wrong. keep up the good work, and Thanks Pat.

Fantastic add-on , i am using both type of encryption PGP/MIME and S/MIME and will love to see better interface to manage both of them from one place. having a radio button inside the composing windows toolbar that enable selecting either S/MIME or PGP/MIME so selecting one, will automatically deselect/disable the other one.

As recommended in some forums, it is best to install GPG BEFORE Enigmail. i tried it on Win 7 and Win 10 pro, TB 48.4.0 with GPG4Win: very easy installation, en- and decrypting and/or singing of Emails work smooth and easily. Thank you very much!
Wie in manchen Foren schon gesagt, ist es empfehlenswert ZUERST GPG und dann erst Enigmail zu installieren. Ich versuchte es mit Win7 und Win 10pro, TB 48.4.0 mit GPG4Win: sehr einfache Installation, Ver- und Entschlüsseln und/oder Signieren von Nachrichten läuft sanft und problemlos. Vielen Dank!

Ich hatte 2013 noch die oben genannten Probleme, auch nach einer Encryption-Party haben die Erweiterungen auf dem Rechner geschlummert. Dieses Mal ging es supereinfach. Danke! Dafür geht in Firefox die Überleitung zu Paypal/Spende nicht... nur das Fenster verdunkelt sich etwas, sorry. Mac PBP 15" end '11, OS 10.10.5, FF 48.0.1
