7. Key management

Once you have Enigmail on your system, you need to populate it with keys: it's

pretty useless without them. You need to have your own key pair in order to

sign messages and allow anybody to send encrypted messages to you.

Furthermore, you will need the public key of a person in order to send that

person an encrypted message, or to verify the signature in a message sent by

that person.

Select OpenPGP → Key Management to open the Key Management window.

You can also open Key Management as a standalone application by appending

-pgpkeyman to the command that runs Thunderbird / SeaMonkey, e.g. on

Windows: "C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\SeaMonkey\

SeaMonkey.exe" -pgpkeyman.

The Key Management window shows all keys (yours and other people's) you

have stored in your machine; this is called your keyring. The set of all public

keys that you have collected is often called your public keyring.

Key pairs (i.e. a bundle of public key and its companion secret key) are shown

in bold. Revoked or expired keys, which are invalid keys, are shown in italic.

All others are valid public keys.

If you run the Setup Wizard and generated a new key pair, or imported an

existing one, it will be shown here. (If it doesn't, tick the option Display All Keys

by Default.) Otherwise, the window will be empty.
