For the life of me I can't get Enigmail to install on Thunderbird 3.1.6.
All I really want to do is digitally sign my emails for security reasons. Can you recommend some other add-on for TB that would do the trick?
I just migrated from debian testing to ubuntu 10.04 since the newly introduced thunderbird 3.0.4 did not work with enigmail anymore and i need that to read about half of my e-mails. Now, it doesn't work on ubuntu either. I have the version (of the distribution) 1.0.1 of enigmail installed. In the testing version i also deinstalled it and downloaded the version given by the addons. Still didn't work.
If i start from command-line, i get:

Saying Enigmime-Service is not available. Usually i get a window saying the same thing each mail i open.
I cannot read html in emails or in Firefox.It was working fine until I tried to modify the message composition settings in the Preferences menu.I was trying to make it so that I could forward messages in HTML to send to a colleague his flight itinerary.I had set all my messages to be composed in plain text by default with Enigmail.A Google search page for example will only show images but no text is rendered. I can see the blue underlines for links.
If I highlight the webpage and copy it to the Notepad, I can read the text. So the issue isn't that the pages aren't loading, but they are not displaying correctly.The same problem is also now present in my email.Please help! I don't know what to do short of reinstalling Ubuntu and I would rather not.I am on version 9.10 if that helps.
I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10. This was a clean install, so all packages are up to date.
I'm using Thunderbird 3.1.6 with Enigmail 1.1.2.
Thunderbird works OK, but if I try to create an encrypted message, I get an error saying that the Enigmime module is not available. When I checked the Enigmail 'About Open PGP' details, it showed the following message:
Running Enigmail version 1.1.2 (20100630-0917)
Warning: Enigmime module not available
ERROR: Failed to access Enigmime service!

So yesterday I receive a copy of the SANS @RISK security vulnerability newsletter, and, lo and behold, Mozilla's Firefox and Thunderbird are on it yet again. (Yeah, I know, shocking, isn't it?)So I quickly check what versions I have installed. Yup: Vulnerable.I check whether updates are available.These are pretty serious "remote code execution" vulnerabilities and the status is "vendor confirmed, updates available." So why isn't my 9.10 desktop's update manager telling me updates are available?
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy company uses self signed certificates, and whenever i access the global address book, every time i start typing an address, TB throws up a security warning dialog. There is no way from that dialog to accept a security exception.
It's getting really tedious.
I tried editing the address book properties to turn off SSL. This makes the warning go away, but then, every time i start typing an address, TB asks me for my password. This dialog has a check to store the password, which i always check. Yet, TB keeps asking.
How do i make this stop?
I received a suspect E mail from paypal which I reported to them, I did'nt click on anything in the E mail. The Question I am asking is there any way that some one could get in to my email client Thunderbird or Firefox. When I used thunderbird to report the e mail I received a problem reporting that my email couldn,t be sent due to AOL smpt not excepting email because of ssl encrpyption. I checked the settings for the account all seemed ok ssl was still marked. Also while I was on the internet yesterday I got the popup regarding did I want to save a "file" I canceled as I didn,t click anything to download anything.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just installed Ubuntu 9.10 amd64 on a laptop for my parents. They use SeaMonkey with Enigmail for their e-mail. They complained that they couldn't read their e-mail.
I did apt-get install enigmail.
Here are the versions that are installed:
enigmail 2:0.95.7-1ubuntu2
seamonkey 1.1.17+nobinonly-0ubuntu1
Unfortunately, enigmail didn't show up in SeaMonkey. I looked at the files it installed. It looks like it only points Thunderbird at enigmail, but not SeaMonkey.
How do I get enigmail to work with SeaMonkey? Is there another package I can install? Or do I have to manually move around the files?
i have recently installed thunderbird on my fedora 11 box and so far so good. i am interested in encrypting my emails and digitally signing them as well. does anyone have documentation as to how i can do this? i messed around with it last night but i was not able to import a valid certificate.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI no longer have access to my private key as it has been deleted. I have however the revocation certificate and the public key (as it is on a keyserver).
My question is:HOW DO I REVOCATE A KEY?
Excerpt from the Enigmail manual:You can use the revocation certificate that you generated in advance (or at least you should have done so) to invalidate the key pair. Select File Import keys from file from the Key Management window and choose the ASC file containing your revocation certificate.
Send the revoked key to your contacts to warn them not to use it any more. If you published your public key on a keyserver, remember to upload again the revoked key to it.I have done this.I import the revocation certificate, I get that this was performed successfully.I am then unable to select "Revoke key" from the popup-menu (by right-clicking).I assume I am supposed to select "Revoke Key" at some point, and that simply importing the revocation certificate is not sufficient?I proceed to upload the key to the keyserver, hoping that it has now been revocated.But when I then delete the public key locally and proceed to download the same public key again from the keyserver, it is still there, and there is no mention it has been revoked.

I just can't import my contacts to the address book of enigmail.
Aptitude has upgraded Icedove to version 3.0.4 today on my squeeze-amd64 system. Debian's Enigmail package is conflicting with that version of Icedove, though, and won't install therefore. I can't install enigmail as an Icedove add-on either, because the add-on is telling me that the Icedove build type "Linux_x86_64-gcc3" ain't compatible with it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThanks to Lucid not working properly on i845, i855 and other 8xx chips, had to re-install Karmic on my mum's computer.I saved all the data from her old install and I ve managed to get all her old emails from thunderbird, but I cant import her address book.In Thunderbird/tools/import/addressbooks it only allows importing of LDIF, .tab, .csv and .txt files, but I cant find any of these files in any of the Thunderbird, .Thunderbird, Mozilla-Thunderbird or Mozilla folders in Home folder or anywhere, all I can find is "abook.mab" which IS supposed to be her address book, but when I try and import it the entries are blank and/or indecipherable (prob cos not a compatible file type).
Its one of those "simple" things to do, thats taken hours and hours of time, but that I cant actually find out how to do.
I had a portable apps version of Thunderbird (windows) that runs off a thumb drive and wanted to take the settings and transfer them to my Thunderbird that's on my Linux computer.
This is what I did:
First, I installed thunderbird on my Ubuntu 10.04 Linux box and opened it, and closed it (so that it would create the /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder in the user account).
Then, I renamed the linux /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder to .thunderbird_ORIGINAL
Then, I created a new /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder
Then, I took the windows e:ThunderbirdPortableDataprofile folder and copied it to the /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder.
Then, I looked into the /home/<username>/.thunderbird_ORIGINAL folder and wrote down the name of the folder with the ".default" extension.
Then, I renamed the profile folder (that came from the windows e:ThunderbirdPortableData folder) "<name-I-wrote-down>.default".
And then, I copied the profiles.ini folder from /home/<username>/.thunderbird_ORIGINAL to the /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder.
I opened up Thunderbird in Linux and everything seems fine! (I'll definitely be keeping a backup just in case)
My question is: is this fine and dandy, or a recipe for disaster?
I just download Thunderbird 3 and a file named as thunderbird-3.0.tar.bz2 got downloaded.
But I do not know how to install this file. I am very new to Ubuntu and recently migrated from Windows Vista to Ubuntu 9.10.
I know how to install the .deb files but how do I install the source code files.
I already got some answers from various websites... but they are too confusing, since I am very new to Linux and do not know much about it. But I am trying to learn.
So please suggest me a simple solution.
Wondering if i could get some help installing Thunderbird 3.1 on Lucid Lynx x64.

The Thunderbird window never appears.
I have tried removing ~/.thunderbird/ and ~/.mozilla-thunderbird/, to no avail. I have tried creating a new dummy account and running Thunderbird -- that works okay. So this has to be something in my user home area, I just can't figure out what. While I can wipe my home area and start over, I have about 60 other users who are going to face this same issue when I upgrade their machines, so I am desperate to resolve the issue some other way.

All went well and both OS works fine. I have installed a lot of packs without any problem, when I installed thunderbird pack I notice that its version is 2.0. I didn`t think that was a problem until I wanted to install some addons and thunderbird complaints that those addons only work with versions superior to 3.0. " Ok" I said to myself, and looked here code...
