installation and getting GPGtools running
I have installed GPGTools on the following machine but it is not working
(apparently).
MacBook Pro running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
Mail Client is Thunderbird (14.0)
The installation completed with an installation successful msg.
I can create keys
When I create a msg in Thunderbird there is no encrypt icon.
I can encrypt text in TextEdit
After fresh start of machine when I look for processes running there are
no GPG* processes
Only GPG Keychain Access shows up in Applications Folder
I have installed the latest GPGTools_Installer-latest.dmg
20-Aug-2012 21:41 23M Untested nightly build
I had PGP Desktop installed and when I uninstalled it a lot of stuff was
left behind so using
(http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/display/istcontrib/Manually+Removing+PGP+Desktop+from+Mac+OS+X)
I manually uninstalled it, re-started machine and then reinstalled
GPGTools - with same results.
I can send logs but do not know which ones are important
Any help appreciated.
Best regards
Ken Tollefson

Hi Ken,
If you're using Thunderbird, the Enigmail plugin would be more appropriate I think. http://www.enigmail.net/home/index.php
GPGTools consists of a toolset to add GPG services to OS X, but the GPGtools "Mail" plugin is for OS X's Mail.app I believe, not Thunderbird.

Hi Ken,
sorry for the late response.
Please verify that there's a OpenPGP Item in the Thunderbird menu bar and
verify that you see Enigmail if you check your Thunderbird Add Ons (Menu Bar -> Extras -> Add-ons)
If it's missing, Enigmail was not properly installed.
In that case please try to run the installer again.
@Pete: At the moment we're still including Enigmail, but might remove it from further releases. Thanks for helping out!
