Hello,
I'd just like to ask whether Enigmail is compatible with GPG 2.1; I'm using Ubuntu 14.04.
I tried installing it, but it seemed like Enigmail wasn't able to find any secret keys... Is there some trick I have to apply?

Many thanks.

  GnuPG 2.1 uses a different keyring than GnuPG 2.0.

  Something similar must also be done with your secret keys.
