9.1.6. Debugging
These options can help to track down why Enigmail doesn't work as expected.
In the field Log directory you can type the name of a valid directory path, e.g.
C:\Windows\temp (Windows) or /data/tmp (Linux). Once you enter a value
in the field, debugging will automatically be turned on and log files will be stored
in the directory.
Close the Preferences window and restart the mailclient. After restart, Enigmail
will create a file named enigdbug.txt, containing the trace log, in the
specified directory. You can view this file via the menu command OpenPGP →
Debugging Options → View Logfile.
Changing the value of the log directory requires Thunderbird / SeaMonkey to be
restarted.
Test email allows you to check an email address that is a user ID of a key in
your keyring. Enter the email address in the field and press the Test button.
Enigmail will then perform a couple of tests and inform you about the result.
You can check the details of these tests in the Enigmail Console, which is
available via the menu command OpenPGP → Debugging Options → View
Console.
