So, apparently Enigmail cannot use my private key, why?ĮDIT2: If I try to sign a message, it refuses with the failure 'Error - wrong passphrase'. What makes me suspicious is that 0xMYKEYCODE from the error message is different from the code of my public-private key pair in my key manager, how can this be?ĮDIT: Maybe this helps: I can not sign messages on the computer that cannot decrypt, but I can sign on my other machine. What drives me especially crazy is, that I have another Laptop using Enigmail with the very same public-private key pair and there everything works just fine. I deleted all my keys and reimported them.

I also reinstalled GnuPG a couple of times. I have reinstalled Enigmail a couple of times. I have been trying now for hours to solve this. How can the private key be missing? I personally encrypted the message before sending it to myself. Hint: Message was encrypted with the following User-Ids/Keys: Gpg: Decryption failed: Secret (private) key not found Public Key MYKEYCODE needed to verify signature I use a German Thunderbird, so here is my translation: Error - Decryption failed Hinweis: Die Nachricht wurde mit folgenden Benutzer-IDs / Schlüsseln verschlüsselt: Gpg: EntschlÃ¼sselung fehlgeschlagen: Geheimer SchlÃ¼ssel ist nicht vorhanden Öffentlicher Schlüssel MYKEYCODE zur Überprüfung der Unterschrift benötigt From one day to another my Enigmail Thunderbird Plug-In stopped working and I can no longer decrypt messages send to me encrypted with my public key.Įvery time I try to decrypt a message the following error shows up: Fehler - Entschlüsselung fehlgeschlagen

Unable to decrypt email
