[Thunderbird 78] Unable to read my encrypted messages
Closed, WontfixPublic

Description

Hello,

my mail provider automatically encrypts all incoming mails.
Before version 78 I could read all my mails with the Enigmail addon.

With version 78 I imported my keys but I cannot read any message:
"Message cannot be decrypted
There are unknown problems with this encrypted message".

See announcement here on Thunderbird blog and here on Enigmail site.

I know Enigmail is depcrecated with version 78 of Thunderbird. However, I had the assumption to still be able to read my encrypted messages...

Just in case you are interested:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1653651

I opened this bug report:
"Your distribution updated Thunderbird to 78? The Thunderbird project had recommended to NOT take this upgrade yet for users who might have been using Enigmail, because the integrated OpenPGP feature isn't yet considered stable. It was advised to stay with TB 68.x until the release to TB 78.2

The OpenPGP functionality in 78.0 is incomplete and there are known bugs, that we're still working on."
