Hi,
I´m trying to use GPGTools with Thunderbird and Enigmail.
In the settings of Enigmail I used another path instead it´s default one and typed in "/usr/local/MacGPG2/bin".
However the binaries are located at this path, Enigmail cannot find the binaries and report always an error that the binaries not found.

Im Using MacOS 10.7.1
GPGTools Version 20111117 (17. November 2011)
Enigmail 1.3.3
Thunderbird 8.0

   Hi,

   Thunderbird requires the path to be set to the binary itself.
   Appending /gpg to your path making it /usr/local/MacGPG2/bin/gpg should fix the problem.

   Hope that helps,

   Lukas

   Hi!

   As of GnuPG 2 the gpg-agent is used. So, if this agent is running on your system (check on Terminal with "ps aux | grep gpg-agent") you can ignore the Tunderbird warning. Go to the settings of Enigmail, enable the advanced settings and enable the checkbox, which says "use gnupg 2 passkey agent".

   After that, it worked for me.

   Hi guys,

   thank´s for your reply! Both are very good hints to get it work.

   @Lukas: At my environment I had to append the path with /gpg2 instead of your suggestion /gpg

   @Sebastian: You are right, there was a disabled checkbox in the settings you explained

   Now I´m fine and the encryption of mails in Thunderbird works as expected.
   Thnak´s and best ragards,
