For anybody else that walks into this: 1) On "Source" machine, In Thunderbird Menus: Enigmail -> Preferences -> Transfer Settings -> Export Settings and Keys 2) On "Destination" machine, In Thunderbird Menus: Enigmail -> Preferences -> Transfer Settings -> Import Settings and Keys If you get "You do not seem to have the secret key for on your keyring; you cannot use the key for signing.", you need to copy your ~/.gnupg directory from your source machine. After you copy, YOU MUST RESTART your GPG/Keyring daemon. On Ubuntu derivatives, the command "gnome-keyring-daemon -r -d" should do it. After you restart, check your access & setup with "gpg --card-status". If you get messages about a missing scdaemon, install it. "sudo apt-get install scdaemon" worked for me. YMMV Restart Thunderbird, and you should be good to go.

[Enigmail] Yubikey/Thunderbird - multiple machines, same key
Greetings. Is there a way to use the same Yubikey on multiple machines? I have a Workstation and a Laptop, and depending on where I am working, maybe using one or the other. As a result, the Yubikey is plugged into the one that I am currently using (and I have a setup that allows me to use Thunderbird on either machine). Is there a way for Thunderbird/Enigmail/GPG to be configured such that it can read Yubikey on either machine? Right now, attempting to configure via Thunderbird Key Management Enigmail/GPG clears the currently set key in the Yubikey. Help?

As a general comment: This will only work if the expired keys are actually stored on the configured keyservers. Failing that, one would have to get the new public key directly from the intended recipient, with all that entails.

I am not aware of any objective way to determine whether e-mail usage has been declining or increasing, and I would take Facebook's claims with a sizable grain of salt. The company's stock price depends on people believing them. E-mail remains the primary form of written communication in business, and I expect it to remain that way for the foreseeable future, given that it still has some semblance of configurability, standardization and decentralization. If anything, it is the market for stand-alone mail clients that is diminishing. Webmail is accessible from any computer with a reasonably modern web-browser. This is probably how a large majority now use e-mail. Most people cannot be bothered with the effort needed to configure a mail user agent. I hope this won't be the ultimate death of Thunderbird. Ms. Baker claims she uses it herself, so that gives me some hope that this won't be the ultimate end of Thunderbird. But it still looks grim. In any event, I still need a reliable and feature-rich mail user agent with good public key encryption support.
