Open extensions and uninstall these both (again as root). Shut down Thunderbird and re launch it and enigmail should be gone. For some reason you can't uninstall the extensions even as root until they are re-installed as root. It appears they were installed as root when the rpm was built. Thanks Rick, mostly this worked... I was able to get rid of the extension as a normal user. I did not have to log in as root. (When I did try to do this, Thunderbird started the new account wizard!) This could be because I installed Thunderbird under rpmdrake, and did not use the firefox/thunderbird self-installer. - Jack

I am not sure these should have been included in the rpm by default as they are so easy to add as a user if required. Enigmail as installed by the rpm didn't seem to work for me. It may have been a file permission issue with the files installed by the rpm. I didn't try it after the reinstall, just removed it. It wouldn't retain it's configuration entries for me. Maybe someone else can recommend an alternate method to uninstall the extensions. Rick Kunath Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
