    Dirk - 2020-06-24

    My setup is:
    Ubuntu Linux + Thunderbird 68.8.0 + Enigmail 2.16

    I want to have all my existing emails in an IMAP-mailbox encrypted by enigmail.
    As far as I understand the "encrypt to key" filter function would do exactly this.

    So I created a filter in thunderbird. And everything seems fine so far.
    my pgp key is accepted by the filter rule and the filter logs output is as expected (for both test mails):

     [24.06.20, 23:52:35 GMT+2] Applied filter "pgp2" to message from Dirk <1234@abcdef.com> - test2 at 14.06.20, 06:55:04 GMT+2 Encrypt to key (Enigmail)
    
    [24.06.20, 23:52:35 GMT+2] Applied filter "pgp2" to message from Dirk <1234@abcdef.com> - test at 14.06.20, 06:24:59 GMT+2 Encrypt to key (Enigmail) 
    

    Nevertheless both mails hasn't been encrypted.

    At this point I've no clue how to going into deep with further debugging. And of course I've no idea why encryption fails.

    Any ideas why this happens or how I can find other related debug logs?

    That's a known bug, which will be fixed in the next release-
