Hi Patrick.

With Thunderbird 17.0 and Enigmail 1.4.6, I get a behavior that every time an encrypted mail is received (and processed by mail filter), the OpenPGP password prompt pops out. I had this behavior with some older TB version already, but then it ceased, now it is back. Automatically decrypt/verify messages is off, search indexer and windows search is off, too.

Any idea?

Hi Rasto

I think that's a Thunderbird bug.
See these mails:

A new Thunderbird version should be out in a few days; I think this should fix the problem.

Ah, got it already, problem solved.

Apparently, after upgrade, some Thunderbird settings are lost in a very funny way (credits here go to Tomas Vasko). The Automatically decrypt/verify was off in the menu but not in the reality. And just checking and unchecking didn't help, Thunderbird restart was needed in between. After I checked it, restarted, unchecked and restarted again, the problem is gone.

This is usually due to a corrupted localstore.rdf file (in your profile directory).
