Download and install GnuPG. ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32cli-1.4.1.exe Please accept the intaller's defaults. When done add GnuPG's directory to XP's PATH environment variable. Set the path in Enigmail's preferences panel to "C:\Program Files\Gnu\GnuPG\gpg.exe" There are more tips on the GnuPG for Enigmail on Windows page. There's a lot that needs to be reqritten to to the release of the installer with 1.4.1, but specific tasks like adding to the PATH will still be the same. If you have any doubts or questions, please write back. Either to the list or directly. Just please don't respond to both me and the list. - -John - -- John P.

I have installed both enigmail and enigmime via urpmi. This I did as root. I also started up Thunderbird and configured GPG preferences as root. Thunderbird https://www.enigmail.net/list_archive/2005-March/004154.html is installed system-wide. I then set up Enigmail preferences in Thunderbird as a user. I notice that in enigmail console, stuff like this is printed: ====== Console Text starts here ====== Initializing Enigmail service ...

Or why 3-6 have the number 1 in front. Could anyone answering pls explain in simple terms. I'm not technically minded, error accessing and new to Enigmail & gpg4win. I used Enigmail setup wizard, installing gpg4win for 1st time, but it failed to backup up revocation certificate, saying something like 'failed to accept your passphrase'. On trying to send test email to Edward, I received error msg "Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server smtp.gmail.com failed. The error accessing enigmail server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your SMTP server settings are correct and try again, or contact the server administrator." I get this error msg: "Enigmail: Error in accessing Enigmail service To permanently avoid this alert, either fix the problem or uninstall Enigmail. Click on the Help button for more details." And this: "There was an error saving the message to Drafts. Retry?" And this: "Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server smtp.gmail.com timed out. Try again or contact your network administrator." And now Add Security Exception, repeatedly. If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link: Ludwig Hügelschäfer - 2014-10-21 You seem to suffer from different issues. Your account setting for the SMTP server seems to be wrong. You probably cannot send unencrypted messages, right? This problem covers items 2, 4, 5 and 6. This needs to be fixed first before you can restart with Enigmail setup. Maybe someone with a working gmail account
