Update: I have generated a new key pair and revoked my old key. There are no issues with Enigmail as of now, I just can't decrypt the emails with the old key.

This is correct. I have adjusted my previous posting.

Honestly I cannot answer this because I created the keys in May and didn't perform any test for sign and decrypt. However I used the encryption successully with Thunderbird+Enigmail when sending and receiving emails. I just can't remember if there was a pop-up for a passphrase or not. But I would focus on the current issue: Enigmail complains about missing private key, but the key properties confirm that a key pair is existing.

To mitigate this issue I have deleted my key from Enigmail. The I started to reimport the private key (from my backup) to GnuPG using this command and there was no error: PS C:\Users\d038783\.ssh> gpg --import 9518B734EC00D1C5.priv.asc gpg: Schlüssel 0x9518B734EC00D1C5: "Thomas Schneider <thomas@biszumbitterenen.de>" nicht geändert gpg: Um 'secring.gpg' zu migrieren sollte für jede Smartcard "gpg --card-status" aufgerufen werden. gpg: Schlüssel 0x9518B734EC00D1C5: geheimer Schlüssel importiert gpg:...
