You have 2 options:
1. move ~/.enigmail to some local directory, and create a symlink from ~/.enigmail to the local directory
2. use GnuPG as crypto-engine instead of OpenPGP.js (menu Enigmail > Preferences > Crypto-Engine)

stop Seamonkey, process continues with high CPU usage until I kill
Seamonkey. How can I configure Enigmail to avoid this issue ?
It seems that ~/.enigmail is on an NFS share?
You have 2 options:
1. move ~/.enigmail to some local directory, and create a symlink from ~/.enigmail to the local directory
2. use GnuPG as crypto-engine instead of OpenPGP.js (menu Enigmail > Preferences > Crypto-Engine)
Yes, this workstation is pure diskless.
I have tried to replace OpenPGP.js by GnuPG. First stage of reconfiguration runs fine as Enigmail finds GnuPG, but key restoration stalls. I have created a file 'Enigmail-exportation.zip' from my old configuration I try to restore. Enigmail console shows:
and Enigmail-exportation.zip contains keyring.asc and prefs.json.

I would recommend that you do the key importing on the command line, and then restart Enigmail:
gpg --import /path/to/your/keyfileI have verified that my keys were imported in gpg configuration:
But enigmail complains as its configuration is not done. I have restarted Seamonkey with default locale and I have seen that gpgme-json was missing on my system. Thus, I have built gpgme-json ans now, enigmail runs as expected.
Thanks,
JB
I come back ;-)
Same result with GNUgpg. Seamonkey eats a lot of CPU and load average of my workstation is height (between 7 and 8).
nfs requests show that enigmail opens and closes enigmail.sqlite-journal:
What does enigmail ? During a lot of time, it runs like a charm and, suddendly, a process starts and eats CPU. I precise that this workstation doesn't contain local disks.

Enigmail processes Autocrypt headers and stores them in the same sqlite database.
Can you have file on a tmpfs that are simply in RAM?
