I am unable to force Enigmail to use my key. I have checked the key servers and I have one active key as shown below. But when I attempt to use Enigmail to send an encrypted mail I get the error above. This key is not my key and I have no idea where Enigmail is looking for this key. Key server content as below from my Mac OSX using:-
gpg --list--keys

When I attempt to send a mail to dnataraj Engimail realizes his public key is in my keychain and automatically set the encruption on but when I try to send I get an error:-
The configured key ID "0x9A3CF831" cannot be found on your keyring.
It should be using my key 369F26F3 bit for some reason is trying to find a key 9A3CF831. I have no idea why this is or how to solve it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Enigmail but no use:-
Versions: Mac OSX 10.12.5 (Mac osSierra).
Thunderbird: 52.1.1
Enimail: Running Enigmail version 1.9.6.1 (20161116-1713)
Using gpg executable /usr/local/bin/gpg2 to encrypt and decrypt
Please help I am unable to solve this....I hve GPG Keychain version 1.3.2 installed and this shows my correct key as does the list command above. The configrued key servers for Enigmail are:-
you probably have configured Enigmail to use 0x9A3CF831 as your key for whatever reason. Please go to: Tools -> Account setting. Select "OpenPGP security" below your account. You should select "Use specific OpenPGP key ID:" Do you see 0x9A3CF831 or another key Id?
Just to be safe: click on "Select key..." button and select your key pair.

Don't forget the possibility of having this set up in gpg.conf as well.
Martin, if you don't see it in your Enigmail configuration, it's
probably set up in GnuPG's configuration file. You can find it in
$HOME/.gnupg/gpg.conf.

Hi Ludwig. Thank you very much. The incorrect key was being mnually set in Tools->Accounts->OpenPGP security settings. I guess it was because I created one with 2048 and then decided i wanted a 4096 so i created a new key and revoked the old one but Engimard must have preset the first one !. Now i know where to look and all working fine. Thanks for your help.
Regards
Martin
