Re: Enigmail for SeaMonkey 2.53.16
Sounds interesting, I'd love to try it.
Is there much risk of damaging my profile - containing huge numbers of existing emails??? I do have backups, but still would be a pain.
If I use it, and then uninstall it, will all the emails from while I was using/ trying it become unreadable?
If you can offer a bit more encouraging info on it, I will jump in!!!

Re: Enigmail for SeaMonkey 2.53.16
I've just finished installing and configuring Enigmail for my SeaMonkey e-mail client. It took me a bit of figuring out how to get my keyring imported and configured against my e-mail profiles properly, but I'm impressed with how easy it is to use, vs the webmail clients (and Mailvelope) I was previously using.
Now, I'm speaking from a Linux point of view, so it may well be different for SeaMonkey on other operating systems, but I don't think there's any damage to your profile if you set up Enigmail incorrectly or don't like it and remove it later. The worse that I can see happening is, any emails you send "encrypted" will just not be readable if you remove Enigmail later. It doesn't affect emails directly... it's just a layer on top that interprets PGP encryption keys and decodes/encodes as to your instructions.
I haven't tried to create new keyrings/key sets in Enigmail yet. I've just imported keys that I already use. And I kick myself for not using it in my SeaMonkey E-mail client sooner. I really like it.
